Elizaveta Svishcheva,
Master's student at the Higher School of Economics "Transmedia Production in Digital Industries":
"Daria and I came up with the concept of an audio series, where the main idea is to tell the stories of people belonging to social groups who are rejected or condemned by society. We planned to find and interview people who accepted themselves (their problem does not have to be homosexuality). For us, this is an attempt to tell the most honest stories in simple language. Perhaps, it will help others get through a difficult period in their lives".
