Pedestrian

unwitting transient disruptive

A pedestrian crosses the road in front of Julia's car, forcing her to swerve sharply during a tense phone call with her husband Paul about childcare. This sudden hazard interrupts their exchange—Julia shouts 'SORRY' amid the distraction—heightening her frustration and isolation as she rejects Paul's practical suggestion to hire Helinka. The pedestrian's routine action underscores the precarious timing of Julia's crisis, injecting urban unpredictability into her mounting personal pressures.
