Commentaries and bibliography
"Miner's day"
A desolate mining town in Russia. Several years ago it was an excellent place to live and work. After the mine was closed down, what is left is just old barracks and people who lost the sense of life. There is a family in this forlorn town who still tries to survive in these difficult and hostile conditions.
