The show begins
Ecuador, fall, the 1970s. A girl anxiously awaits a call from her father, who is travelling in the Indian ocean. A telephone operator connects cables to enable people from all the far-flung corners of the Earth to communicate. It falls on her to connect the girl with her father. Suddenly, a comet streaks by Earth, disrupting the telephone network. It’s at that moment that a carrier pigeon takes flight to restore the network, and the story takes an unexpected turn…
The show draws inspiration from the book “For more laughter, please hold”, by Zoi Vlachouta, who served as an OTE telephone operator back in the 70s.
