Gala first appears as a helpful neighbor assisting with furniture, but her true nature emerges through her persistent envy of Sasha's room. Living with her husband and son Petya in just fourteen square meters, she becomes increasingly quarrelsome about space allocation. Her suspicion in the theft of a cape marks her final appearance, revealing the desperate circumstances that breed such tensions in communal living.
Description
A middle-aged woman with a sturdy, practical build shaped by years of physical work. Her face shows the weathered texture of someone who spends time outdoors, with sharp, assessing eyes that miss little. She typically wears simple, functional clothing—a headscarf tied over her hair and a worn work dress that speaks to her daily labor. Her hands are strong and capable, marked by the calluses of someone who moves furniture and manages household tasks in tight quarters.
