Beginning of the 90s. The water is turned off in the summer for a month, no one has heard of the terrible beast boiler, but there are baths. The public. There are two rooms: male and female, each for 50-100. In each room there are long wooden benches and benches. You take a pond, collect water from two cranes, one red, in it boiling water, the other blue, in it cold water. Go to the bench to wash. And all the benches are occupied by women. and naked. of all ages. They wash and rub each other’s back. and poop. And to get there you have to stand in line, two hours.
