Issue 1. Mariupol.

All these are real stories told by real people.

Mariupol, before February 24

Here we see a student paramedic who loves his job and helps people. We see a journalist who embodies her life's dream and talks about her hometown's places of strength and super people. We see a fisherman. He works as a handyman, trying to live an honest and dignified life, although he does not always succeed. Next to him is an actor and a lighting artist, for whom the theater has become a second home.

Mariupol, after February 24

Here’s a medic. He looks at his patient’s breathless body and refuses to believe he can no longer be helped. A journalist. She stands in front of the basement door during the shelling and prays to see her parents alive behind that door. We see a fisherman. He swims across the icy sea, and the only things that prevent him from drowning are the outlines of the shore in the distance and the fragments of old memories. A theater actor and a lighting designer: stunned by the roar of an air strike, they are getting out from under the rubble, trying to find the children.

They all were just saving their lives.
