«A visionary film that connects a thought-provoking search for the mysterious origins of life across time and space. Filmmaker Maria Molina Peiró’s impressive debut is a science fiction documentary and a monumental visual work that delves into the biggest questions with few words. A cinematic experience that delves into the boundaries between faith and progress, and between living and the non-living. In other words: this is a film that must be experienced in the cinema»

Como Todo Mortal
2026. 93 minutes.
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.
