The Mine

A portrait of three women of different ages who work in the same place. Coal sorting in the Rydułtowy Hard Coal Mine is a tough way to earn a living, yet the protagonists show a lot of spirit. Unfortunately, their everyday struggle is not limited to coal sorting only but involves the most down-to-earth matters, too, such as fighting with clerks to have toilets cleaned in the women’s workplace. Sometimes, their only weapon is a sense of dignity and a sense of humour.
