"The Voice" is the story of three heroines, who live in different epochs, in different cultural and social circumstances. Their stories are similar and not similar at the same time. They met love and became disillusioned with love. They felt the pain of losing love, the fear of condemnation and the feeling of loneliness and uselessness. But the most important, that all of them have lost hope and they haven't seen the exit.
They approach to the border, beyond which is death.
What is the common and what is the different in their stories? Where does the zone of the outside world end and begin the zone of the inside world?Why does the combination of these worlds bring to the point? And what helps a person to turn from the edge?
