From the Ashes

Zwischentage

Directed by Jasmin Astaki-Bardeh

In a former German coal region, a mine gives way to a ghost train, including undead miners.

Synopsis

In December 2018, the last German coal mine in Bottrop closed it shafts. At the Prosper-Haniel II mine site, the miners are clearing out the last production facilities. Meanwhile, undead miners haunt the old cleaning trac as part of a newly opened horror theme park. The advertised "goosebumps guarantee" of the "NRW creepy maze" is bringing jobs back. The miners children are earning a living now not as coal miners, but as miner zombies in "Shaft 13". ZWISCHENTAGE observes structural change using the example of the Prosper-Haniel II mine site.
