KORTXOAREN DILEMA

A political thriller of intrigue and entanglement for two actors, set in a single location and in real time. The PROFESSOR (70 years old) is a retired professor of Ethics and Political Philosophy, a leftist, controversial, agitator, and highly prestigious figure. He’s like an Iberian Noam Chomsky. He has terminal cancer, but the possibility of a cure has emerged. He can receive treatment with one of the radiotherapy machines that a well-known billionaire has donated to the public healthcare system. This donation has been praised by the majority. However, for a few, it’s nothing but a PR stunt, a sleight of hand by someone who doesn’t pay the taxes they rightfully should.

In fact, one of the most prominent voices in denouncing this dubious act of charity has been the Professor himself. Now, he must decide whether to stay true to his principles and martyr himself or set aside his convictions. Today, he has made a decision and is about to make it public. While preparing his speech, a stranger, a former STUDENT (60 years old) with unresolved issues, bursts into his office.
