Un, ningú i cent mil
From Luigi Pirandello, Direction by Ferran Utzet
Un, ningú i cent mil (1926) is Pirandello's final novel. It was a work of long and difficult gestation. "It is the complete synthesis of everything I have done and the source of everything I will do," he said. "It will be like my literary testament. After the publication of the text, I should remain silent forever."
A man undergoes an identity crisis due to a trivial observation about his nose made by his wife while he looks in the mirror. From that moment on, the mirror reflects back to him the image of "the other," the man who is not, but appears to be: the individual who is not "one" but "a hundred thousand," someone with as many personalities as others can attribute to him. Whoever makes this discovery becomes "nobody," at least to himself, because he has no choice but to see himself as others see him, that is, in his hundred thousand diverse personalities.

Who am I really? Few questions as simple to ask as this have triggered more identity crises. Perhaps because the answer, the real answer, can shake everything... This is the abyss into which, unexpectedly, Vitangelo Moscarda (Marc Rodríguez), the protagonist of Un, ning ú i cent mil , is thrown. It all begin
