Like Any Other Mortal

María Molina Peiró

On a distant planet, a robot searches for signs of life. Light-years away, in one of the oldest mines in the world, beneath tons of mineral waste, an ecosystem between exploration and exploitation unfolds, a landscape between Andalusia and Mars.

On a distant planet, a robot explores the landscape in search of minerals and signs of life. Light-years away, in one of the oldest mines in the world, its inhabitants live surrounded by buried towns under mountains of mineral waste, while astrobiologists investigate a hidden biosphere that raises a disturbing evolutionary hypothesis. Weaving together documentary, flamenco and science fiction, Como Todo Mortal excavates the social, historical and speculative strata of a landscape between exploration and exploitation, between Andalusia and Mars.
