Synopsis

Pasha and Roma navigate the city of Vorkuta, where the remnants of abandoned villages surround the Komsomolskaya mine. At a depth of 1,080 meters, miners descend daily into the earth. Vorkuta once had five mines, but an explosion at the North mine reduced that number to four. Amidst the tundra, the city continues to pulse with life as the two friends share their experiences and reflections on their environment.
