A younger guy stands and fumbles with a microphone, and once in a while he

                   stops the music and says some words in Turkish into the microphone and out of
                   the speakers.

                     "It's good food you've made, Mom," Ann says, continuing: "May I take the cat

                   down to the party in the yard tonight for a couple of hours? I want to show it to
                   Nadeem and Bedrana."

                     "You just have to be home at 10 o’clock," Lissi replies.

                     "You can just go back to him, you know the cat-man, what was his name? I think
                   it was Jarovic or something like that. He could be a help for you, mama ” says

                   Ann.
                     "Yes, I will call him actually. Fuck Kell, I don't want anything anymore with that

                   awful guy,” replies Lissi.

                   After dinner, Ann helps out washing up, while Lissi changes to her cleaning
                   uniform, which consists of solid blue work pants, a grey T-shirt and a vest where

                   she has keys and cleaning cloths in, alongside of work gloves.

                     “So, now I go to work. I’ll be back at 2pm in the night. "
                     Lissi rattles with her bicycle, which she has standing in the entrance. She pulls it

                   out the entrance door and gives Ann a quick kiss on the cheek.
                     Ann sits and watches the cat. The fur is grey and its eyes are yellowish-green.

                     It's a beautiful cat, she thinks to herself. It looks at her and she almost feels as if

                   it were a human. She keeps stroking her; it is safe from harm. The kitten is really
                   enjoying Ann’s company. It is as if they have always known each other for a long

                   time. Maybe it's a magic cat, she thinks.

                     "I love you, little kitty."
                   She looks around the room and places the various places while taking pictures of

                   it with her phone. Then she puts on her hoodie, lifts the cat up her arm and goes

                   out through the entrance, down the stairs and into the large yard. The farm is
                   divided into four levels; on each level there are three trees in the middle and a

                   small playground with a sandbox, a few swings and a children's roller coaster.

                   Although there had been numerous letters and requests from both the residents'
                   council and the property administration, the sandboxes are still used primarily

                   as ashtrays and toilets for dogs, cats and humans. The janitor cleans them once a
