Voice of Vera. The story based on real life.
For a long time I dreamed of writing a book about my own grandmother.
From the story, you could get a great script for the film. Maybe you will like it, this is her real life.
This story is called "Voice of Vera" because of the fact that Vera had an unusually strong, beautiful voice. She was very fond of singing Cossack songs and others all her life.
