A silent portrait of an important enterprise that had a crucial role to the Italian industrial development until 70's, when the activities of magnetite's exploitation came to an end. Two are the maintenance men working in the mine. Their daily work is to keep a place alive. Themselves are the children of miners since generations. Through a journey into the mine, through daily repetitive tasks, almost with hypnotic rhythm, Valeria Allievi thinks poetically through what is left behind, through what remains.
