Pavel Cuzuioc travelled through Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova and the Ukraine, accompanying telecommunications technicians on fieldwork as they went about their task of connecting people with one another and with the world by means of cables and sockets. The working journeys from door to door become voyages of discovery from microcosm to microcosm, and PLEASE HOLD THE LINE emerges as a witty and enigmatic essay about the human yearning for connection, failure of communication and existence in a wait loop.
