Set in a stark yet mesmerizing salt mine, Within the Sun is a poetic observational portrait of elderly female workers whose lives follow the rhythm of the seasons. Through intimate close-ups and quiet moments, the film captures the weight of their labor, the resilience etched into their bodies, and the fragile balance between solidarity and tension that binds their community. It’s a meditation on endurance, aging, and the haunting beauty of life shaped by work.
