“Voices” trailer: the story of those who arrive first
The fifth VARTA novella documents the daily work of DSNS rescuers during the full-scale war.
“Voices” tells the story of those who are first on the scene of tragedy after Russian terror. Under the threat of repeated shelling, rescuers keep working among rubble and fire, hoping to find and save survivors and to recover, with honor, the bodies of those whose lives were taken.
Rescuers and firefighters are heroes of our time who fight for other people’s right to live at the cost of their own lives. They are voices of hope and salvation for those under the rubble.
