A NEW SHIFT
Tomáš has been working underground as a coal miner for 25 years. When the mine has to close
due to the general decline of coal mining, he is offered a new career as a computer programmer. He enrolls in a state-funded
re-education programme, preparing him for one of the most in-demand jobs. Tomáš takes up the challenge and gets ready to transform
his life radically. But will a forty-something long-haired, subterranean punk rocker who has spent his whole life performing
hard physical labour ever fit in with the young and trendy digital crowd?
