Description:
This is a couple from Sandomierz. The town is visible in the background. The girl has a typical look of a girl who will leave Poland - a peroxide blonde with heavy make-up and a brightened face. The boy has a trendy hairstyle - a la the Russian bard, Vladimir Vysotsky. She is constantly uneasy, unhappy and thinks of emigration. He is sad for he knows that these moments of love will soon pass and he will lose her. (E.D.)
