[1][2] Wolfgang Weber is a bit unworldly archivist of the city of Castrop-Rauxel.

He makes an astonishing discovery while receiving treatment at Thomas Vallomtharayil's Ayurvedic clinic.

150 years earlier, another Thomas was at work where the clinic stands today: the Irish mining pioneer and Ruhr legend Thomas Mulvany.

At first Thomas, Thomas was only an episode of the German TV movie Zeche is nich – Sieben Blicke auf das Ruhrgebiet 2010, which was produced in the context of Ruhr.2010.

The film tells the fictional and non-fictional stories of young filmmakers of their home, the Ruhr Area.
