Plot

edit

In a small town in northern France, a long-running mine is closing work, leaving dozens of people without jobs. Not giving up, following the relocation of the company that promised to rehire them, the workers hold a sit-in in front of the site. Faced with a dilemma of the town's mayor, who threatens to seize the land, they come up with the idea to transform the old mine into an amusement park.[4]
