Dave’s granny doesn’t use social networks. She adores Brazilian soap operas. Now she’s on holiday on a faraway island without TV or the Internet. Luckily, she can telephone home. Every evening she phones her best friend Julia and asks her to retell episodes from the soap opera. Read the latest episode.
