This comedy by the Catalan-born author Jordi Galceran tells the story of cruelty which is often manifest in the workplace. The last four candidates for a managerial position in an important multinational company are gathered to undergo the final interviews in the selection process. The four characters however reveal themselves to be cynical, each one betraying a mask totally functional to what they want to obtain, the only job available. All the tests that they undergo are inspired by authentic interviewing techniques used in selecting personnel. What happens in this text is taken to this extreme, without hiding the comic element deriving from the inclement absurdity of these tests. The spectator is invited to participate by trying to discover the real personality of the candidates; to discover where truth and falsehood are to be found.
