Carboneras

They worked in the hoppers choosing the best mineral and discarding the remains of stones and wood. They looked after the houses, the families, the children, the elderly... They also took care of each other. All the coal dust from the Asturian mines passed through his lungs. They fought against silicosis, against oblivion, against a society that ignored them and against themselves and their destinies. It was the bunkers. Mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, neighbors, lovers and wives of all the smoke children who were born, raised and died with the mining basins stuck in their hearts. Their lives are full of tears, love, and battles, to which must be added that of a repressive ruling class that did not hesitate to make the coal regions one of their torture laboratories. The space where the action is located is Montecorvo del Camino (a fictional place in the universe that Alfonso Zapico drew and created to tell the Revolution of '34 in his trilogy La Balada del Norte), sometime in the sixties.
