Character breakdown
Rosa – Every one of her 75 years and speaks with a heavy Polish accent. She looks like she’s just returned from a funeral: black clothes, black mood. Her wispy hair
unruly, unkept.
Leo – It’s hard to believe that this 75-year-old was the Polish Casanova who could famously get any woman. Not that he’s stopped believing it. His accent is pure New York. He wears a dapper suit, bow tie, suspenders.
