We, the Children of the Gold Mines

Backyard wars, childhood cruelty, shattered hopes — this is the growing up of the boys from Chertogi, a dying mining town. They know that the world isn't divided into black and white, good and evil: fate has given them only the unremarkable concrete gray. Their fate is to grow up, unaware of a better life, with only one of them getting the chance to break free from poverty. And then those with whom he stood shoulder to shoulder yesterday will turn against him and his new friends. This will only be the beginning of a years-long feud, where loyalty and love, duty and feelings will clash. Welcome to Chertogi, the paradise of hungry rats, boiled laundry, and garbage.
