Zoe is a gypsy and as such would rather not show her face. In her culture she says women don’t matter. They cook and clean and little else, the men are the sacred ones. “I don’t want to live in a trailer again” she says “I want a modern life in which I can buy myself designer clothes, fragrances, jewelry. Everything that shines, that is sexy and feminine.”
Zoe takes sleeping pills. Every night she wakes up and stares at the ceiling, the prison walls. She is illiterate but says she can play cards and draw. “The worst here is the racket of keys, keys locking and unlocking without the hint of a respite, nights and days. I miss the city, looking at children play and run around. Before I didn’t pay attention to simple things, I felt everything was normal. When I get out, I fear everyone will be able to read my face. They’ll look at me and know I have been to prison.”
