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 villages buried under tonnes of mineral waste, while astrobiologists investigate a hidden biosphere that raises a disturbing evolutionary hypothesis. Interweaving 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.
