The whole camp has a feast in the dining hall, featuring traditional dishes from both Breine and Chaim’s heritage. Abek tells Zofia that Breine’s uncle was standing in front of him, farting during the whole ceremony. They see that he is only eating cabbage and laugh.
Zofia tells Abek that the wedding made her think of their Papa, of the fact that he moved in with his wife’s mother and sister and virtually raised Aunt Maja. Abek asks if she thought of Papa walking Aunt Maja down the aisle, and Zofia, surprised, tells him that Aunt Maja was never married; she is surprised that he has forgotten this.
Zofia suggests that Abek should stop drinking wine; he is resentful of this suggestion.
Zofia goes to the kitchen, where Josef is washing dishes. She helps him by drying them and then suggests that they should go dance. Josef is a terrible dancer, and Zofia has to show him the steps; she takes him somewhere quiet behind coats to show him. They kiss.
Zofia and Josef continue to kiss. Zofia suggests that they go to his cottage. They continue to kiss on his bed. Suddenly, Zofia stops. She tells Josef that she only has eight toes; she lost two to frostbite and doesn’t want him to be shocked.
