On the south coast, in a region close to the Bay of Pigs, the inhabitants of the Cienaga de Zapata region are at work extracting vegetable coal, in trying conditions in the middle of a swamp. During moments of recreation, the children play while tourists hunt or explore in the surrounding area. When the time comes to pay out the wages, the workers are deprived of their legitimate earnings and a revolt breaks out.
