One day, a foreigner from a well-known telecommunications company shows up. He considers that particular location the ideal spot to erect a cellphone repeater, a tower that will bring progress not only to Sofia, but to the whole area… How can ancient customs, peaceful silence and recipes coexist with the inevitable approach of new technologies which can improve our lives?
