Driving Lesson
In a Bulgarian village, Angel is torn between two paths when his grandfather offers to teach him to drive- a symbol of manhood and tradition. Accepting could mean losing his close bond with his sister and conforming to patriarchal norms, while rejecting it risks being labeled weak. Angel must choose between his independence and the pressures of village expectations.
