In the mountains of China's Qinghai province, there are countless small coal mines. The miners are all rural people from nearby and their bodies are covered in coal dust from the thirty dan of coal they must dig out each day to earn five hundred dollars a month. The film records how they labor and the sounds of their heavy breathing and what they see working far underground, while cherishing the dreams of a better life we all have.
