Luboš and Ivana are inhabitans of an ancient medieval town Kremnica in Slovakia. In the 14th-15th century, the town was the main gold producer in the Hungarian Kingdom. From 2005 they both, along with a few others, have struggled against gold mining companies and against the Slovak bureaucracy. Luboš is the leader of the NGO „Kremnica Beyond Gold“ whose members include most of the city's residents. Reasons for their resistance are not only on environmental base. They also try to protect private properties of inhabitants and their civil liberties. The Siege captures the situation in which citizens deal with the pressure of the PR agencies of the mining company and the offices. The main reason why the territory is not yet mined is the persistent legal struggle, numerous litigation and obstruction.
