Charcoal Burners
7.8
Every summer, Marek and Janina work as charcoal burners in Bieszczady. Far from civilization, surrounded by the mountain range, they live in unison with nature and its rhythm. We accompany them from dusk to dawn, observing the slow passing of time. This is a story about people, who have chosen a simpler life.
