A birthday in the one usable room

In a room with a tall wardrobe, a wall clock and a tiled stove, a family sits around a table with a white cloth, a boy in braces and a woman at one end, a young woman and a man at the other; an elderly woman in a fur coat and a broad black hat and a man in an overcoat stand at the table as visitors, and a lamp hangs low over the cake and cups. According to the source the family of four lived in this one room, the rest of the flat being without ceilings and walls, and celebrated a birthday with coffee and cake.
