TRIMS feature a range of MCUs and CUs of locals in Katowice, Poland (Silesian region) in 1936. The first two CUs are of a worker from the zinc mine, on break, drinking water from a metal cup. The next few trims feature a farmer in the region churning a grain threshing machine, with CUs of the mechanism at work. The rest of the trims feature older men of the town, wearing traditional dress (heavy coats with fur collars and some embroidered details), they stand around smoking and talking to each often staring intently at the camera.
