Извън обхват

At Svetlina, an isolated hut in the mountains, the internet, the phones and even the electricity stop working, and the guests are cut off from the world below for several days. There is no single protagonist. Old people whose lives reach back into communist times share the hut with young people raised on social media, football fans, children, a pair of silent eccentrics, emigrants and those who stayed in Bulgaria, among them Dobrev, the teacher. Without screens, each must face their own past, other people's opinions and their own prejudices, and their quiet inner dramas slowly weave together, turning the hut into a small model of society as it was, as it is and as it might be. Yet life down in the valley is waiting, and sooner or later everyone has to come down.
