Synopsis: 

The desperate inhabitants of a Ukrainian town work every day in small illegal mines. They dig everywhere: in abandoned mines, under the cellars of demolished buildings, and even in their own gardens. Fifteen-year-old Yura is one of these illegal miners despite being the grandson of the former director of a once huge Soviet factory. Grown up by necessity, he replaces his parents and provides for the family, and especially for his two sisters.
