Yüzyılın başında, Galler bölgesinde bir madenci ailesinin yaşantısı, ailenin en küçük bireyinin gözlemleriyle anlatılıyor. II. Dünya Savaşı’nın başlaması, filmin olayların geçtiği yerde çekilmesine engel olmuştu. Fakat yapımcı Darryl Zanuck, sırf bu film için California’da bir madenci kasabası inşa ettirmeyi başardı. Yapıt, En İyi Film, En İyi Yönetmen başta olmak üzere beş dalda Oscar kazanmıştı.
