No em penedeixo de res

Dominic is an elderly pensioner, living alone in a small flat. None of his neighbours know who he really is: during Ceausescu’s dictatorship, he used to be one of the Romanian secret service’s high-ranking officers, a cold-blooded torturer. Dominic has no remorse, since he considers those deeds patriotic acts.

He is done with the past. However, his past isn’t done with him. One day a former colleague visits him to ask him for a favour, and on the same day he befriends his neighbour’s Aspergers daughter, who from then onwards will turn his life upside down. Dominic realises that, in order to deal with the past, he must go beyond limits he would never have thought himself capable of. And so, his journey to repentance begins.

This work-in-progress is carried out in the context of the Fabulamundi. Playwriting Europe project.
