Between the click of the light and the start of the dream

"Between the click of the light and the start of the dream" is about the men of the underground, those men who spend most of their life in the dark, in the deep coal mines. This time is Lupeni, a small town in the Jiu Valley, southwestern Romania.

Each and every day, these men descend in the depths of the Earth, each day praying that they will get to see the sunlight again, each day hoping that the Earth won't get its revenge for them disturbing its silence.

Their life is far from easy and yet they still find the power to smile, joke and tell stories. This is just a glimpse of their story."
