Every day is a challenge for Kandemiroğlu. He goes meters underground and tries to bring coal out in “absolute darkness” that can only be penetrated by lamps on the miners’ helmets. Kandemiroğlu leaves his house before sunrise at 5:30 a.m. His wife prepares his lunch and puts it in his bag. Before jumping on the bus that will take him to the mines, Kandemiroğlu stops by a tea shop and enjoys a quick cup of hot tea to prepare himself for the challenging day ahead.
