Tomas lives in the industrial Ostrava. His peaceful life is disrupted by the closure of the Paskov mine, where he has worked over 20 years. Tomas is forced to radically change his life. After completing a tough programming course, he discovers that the ability to write a working code is not enough. Far more difficult is to sell oneself on the job market. Suddenly, a positive answer comes up and Tomas joins an IT company as a programmer. Now, he is sitting in an air-conditioned office in front of computer screen, writing emails to the colleagues sitting next to him. Meetings, briefings, brainstormings. It´s time to ask an unpleasant question. What has he lost?
