Every day, one kilometre beneath the cliffs of North Yorkshire in England, two very different tribes come face to face. Since the late 1980s—when the UK’s deepest dark matter research laboratory was built in the salt mine at Boulby—miners and research scientists have worked side by side. Now, in the darkness of this subterranean network, a young woman discovers a new future.
With a soundtrack composed entirely from underground recordings, directors Federico Barni and Alberto Allica’s sensorial mosaic reveals the fragile equilibrium of a dimension in which utopian and dystopian futures coexist.
