Nam and Viet love each other. Both are miners, working 1000 meters below ground where danger awaits and darkness prevails. Coal earns them a living, while polluting the land and the sea. Black sea. Black coal. Burnt coal. Wet coal. Dusty coal. When Nam decides to leave the country via an agent who smuggles people in shipping containers, it causes a rift between his love for Viet and the desires for his own future.

ನಾಮ್‌ ಮತ್ತು ವಿಯೆಟ್‌ ಪರಸ್ಪರ ಪ್ರೀತಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಇಬ್ಬರೂ ಗಣಿ ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕರು. ಸಾವಿರ ಮೀಟರ್‌ ಆಳದ ಕತ್ತಲು ಗಣಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅಪಾಯಕಾರಿ ಪರಿಸ್ಥಿತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಕಲ್ಲಿದ್ದಲು ಅವರ ಜೀವನಕ್ಕೆ ಆಧಾರವಾಗಿದೆ. ಅದು ಪರಿಸರ ಮಾಲಿನ್ಯ ಉಂಟು ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಸಮುದ್ರವನ್ನೇ ಕಪ್ಪಾಗಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ಧೂಳು ಎಲ್ಲೆಡೆ ಆವರಿಸಿ ದಟ್ಟ ಕಪ್ಪುಹೊಗೆ ತುಂಬಿಕೊಂಡಿದೆ. ಇಂತಹ ಪರಿಸ್ಥಿತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಸಿಸಲು ಇಷ್ಟಪಡದ ನಾಮ್‌ ದೇಶ ಬಿಡಲು ನಿರ್ಧರಿಸುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಮಾನವ ಕಳ್ಳಸಾಗಣೆ ಮಾಡುವ ಏಜೆಂಟಗಳ ಸಹಾಯದಿಂದ ಹಡಗಿನ ಮೂಲಕ ದೇಶ ತ್ಯಜಿಸಲು ಏರ್ಪಾಟು ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಇದು ವಿಯೆಟ್‌ ಜೊತೆಗಿನ ಪ್ರೀತಿ ಹಾಗು ಭವಿಷ್ಯದ ಆಸೆಗಳ ಮಧ್ಯೆ ಭಂಗ ತರುತ್ತದೆ.
