In the new society described in Mater, pregnancy takes place outside the female body. So, when, to her surprise, Zoe discovers that she’s pregnant, she decides to run away with a friend and go into the woods where small colonies of humans still remain, hidden and persecuted, beyond the reach of scientific progress. The contrast between these two worlds is disturbing. In this passionate and vibrant adventure, Martí Dominguez asks the key questions at the heart of human nature and sings a hymn to motherhood as the great origin of everything.
