Veda talks to her mother |
| Description: |
Steiner reuses an idea from earlier in the film where Veda and her mother were arguing; in both cases a secret was revealed that causes conflict; here, Veda reveals that she was secretly married; this harsh-sounding theme uses only woodwinds playing chromatic scales in contrary motion |
