It is 1990 when Alojz is born. Years pass. An adult man is a tough miner, charismatic and listened to by his colleagues. However, his penchant for alcohol and violence causes his loved ones - his wife and young sons - to suffer every day. During a mine disaster, Alojz unhesitatingly saves the life of his friend, whom he had previously been mercilessly harassing. The accident will be a breakthrough for the entire family that will irrevocably change their lives. Paradoxically, however, despite the tragic consequences, it will also bring a glimmer of hope.
