Synopsis
800 years of mining traditions in the Ore Mountains shape the village of Pöhla's identity as it balances health risks and economic interests during Advent.
Synopsis
In the village of Pöhla, the debate over tradition versus progress unfolds against the backdrop of the Ore Mountains. Thirty years after the reunification of Germany, mining customs persist despite their health risks. Following the closure of uranium mines in 1992, residents shifted towards tourism, particularly during Advent. The region, branded as "Christmas Land," features activities like baking stollen and singing during the Metten shift. As Pöhla seeks World Heritage status, tensions rise over plans for a new tin and tungsten mining facility.
