Jak przed wojną

Overview

The film was born out of observations of the social situation in the vicinity of the decommissioned Debiensko mine. It tells the story of one day in the lives of three "restructured" miners and the security guards protecting the post-mining remnants. The three former miners, who have to take care of their families, planned to steal a useless electric cable. While cutting a section of the cable, they are caught by security guards. During the chase, one of the former miners is beaten and loses his bicycle. The miners decide to take revenge on the security guards. As a result of the revenge, the security guards lose their company car and are consequently fired from their jobs. They join the miners' "company," adding to the ranks of the unemployed.
