This two-part TV film follows the fate of an elite miner’s family in the background of the biggest mining disaster of the second half of the 20th century, which should have been forgotten.

The story of a time when life was socialist, work was capitalist and the last of the last were the first. 1961. Gagarin flies into space and anything is possible. In the youngest city of the republic, Havířov, records and characters are broken – in the name of the star shining above the region’s showcase, the Dukla mine, where they are about to switch from a six-day work week to a five-day one. This is where the best quality coal is to be mined for the sake of the socialist economy. At any price. A family drama about responsibility, loss and reconciliation.
