The visit of a public attorney invited by the film crew ends in complete failure: the residents of the "Pentagon" are clearly not willing to fight for their rights. A chance encounter with a drunken firefighter in a café delivers a harsh verdict to Aunt Natasha and her neighbors: "This is a home for those who failed to realize themselves."
