Character

Julia's Children

vulnerable impressionable dependent

Julia's children serve as young dependents whose care ignites family conflict during a logistics crunch. Julia rejects Helinka as a sitter because her tattooed eyebrows frighten them and demands grandmother-style upbringing for cultural continuity. Paul pushes practical fixes, but Julia stands firm, leaving her to scramble. Their needs expose parental rifts—Julia's protective fervor against Paul's detachment—and propel the childcare crisis forward.
