  Jude, however, seems suspicious of Sarah's relationship with Hari, a jealous tendency which intensifies as Sarah begins spending more and more time with Josef, the elderly Polish neighbour she has befriended. Josef is gradually piecing together for Sarah the heartbreaking story of his youth - how he loved and lost a dancer in the Polish National Ballet. Josef dies, Jude leaves her, and she takes refuge in Josef's Polish hometown. Here she is consoled by Josef's great-nephew and the discovery of a trunk filled with memorabilia, until she is ready to return to the people she realises miss her most - Balu and Hari - and the flat above the restaurant that has finally become a home.
