They took a bath together in the bathroom of a hotel apartment. Completely dressed, they sat in the bathtub across each other, while talking about the changes and the taboos in their lives and families.

"When I was little, I used to have a bath with my friends or family members. It was a natural thing to do. As a kid I genuinely enjoyed having this special events. Usually, my mum would arrange everything, and my friends or cousins would come to sleep for a night in our home, or I would go to their places. Last time that I remember having a bath together with somebody was in 1989, with my friend Jelena. I cannot remember why, but suddenly we were not naked anymore. We were bathing with our underwear on and I am not sure if that happened because we or our parents wanted it. From that point on it was somehow too embarrassing to share the bathtub with an other person and I have never done it again."
