Memoirs Of Métiers: About Coal And Love - Charcoal burning, a lesson in perseverance and love

Nestled in the remote forests of Székelyföld, Zoli, a 44-year-old coal burner, dedicates his life to transforming mountains of wood into charcoal. Producing around 110 tons each year, his work might seem solitary and monotonous, but Zoli is a warm-hearted man brimming with wisdom.

Each day, he approaches the physical demands of his craft with quiet determination and a profound sense of purpose. Beyond his expertise in charcoal burning, Zoli imparts valuable life lessons on perseverance, motivation, and love, reminding us that true richness lies in our experiences and connections with others.
