Metal Bread plot

A day in the life of Tatyana Prokopenko, a strong woman from the near-ghost town of Mailuu-Suu in the former Soviet Republic of Kyrgyzstan. Every day she takes a long walk to a mound of broken light bulbs outside the city, to pick up aluminum fittings that she can sell to supplement her meager pension. In the Mailuu-Suu area, where there used to be many uranium mines, radioactivity is high – which some say is the cause of sudden deaths among older people. That doesn't stop Tatyana from staying.
