For centuries, miners bore the burden of development in the Zasavje Valley. The tragedy and sorrow of the daily lives of miners has been put into words by the unique local band Orlek. In the film, their music meets the memories of former miner Cvrč that are as bitter as they are imbued with black humour: “Mining is mining – it’s given you nothing, but it’s given you everything. It’s made you human.”
