Explaining the origin of life on Earth is very difficult. Some believe it was in the water. That the process could have taken millions and millions of years. But that life was chemically meant to be. Others believe in the extraterrestrial origin of life. A meteorite that brought substances that were not on earth. Some even believe that life was seeded on earth by intelligent aliens. and others believe in God. Whatever started life, it is the most extraordinary fact in biology. Perhaps the most extraordinary fact we know of. It happened once. Just one time. And since then, it has never stopped happening. Genetics. And evolution. And time. The life is a miracle.
La vida extraordinaria pretends to tell that. Two normal lives. Without big prizes, tragic stories, unforgettable adventures.
Aurora and Blanca are lifelong friends. Both are from Ushuaia. Aurora is a teacher, she moves to Buenos Aires, gets married, has a son, a lover, a husband. And write poetry. Blanca is a dressmaker, she lives with her mother, her mother dies, she has a boyfriend, then another, then another, she always suffers. And he also writes poetry.
Two ordinary lives. Friendship and literature as the appearance of the extraordinary. Perhaps a miracle. Like life.
