Coal House, The

Synopsis
Three families experience life in the south of Wales coalfield of the 1920s. The families swap their modern luxuries for the harsh reality of daily life of a coalmining family, living in coalminers’ cottages without heating, running water, washing machines, TV and computers, and of course, for the men, there are long days down the mines.
