"La silla" deals with the horrors of the notoriously violent Trujillo regime and its impact on human relationships. Based on a play ("Monologue"), by Franklin Dominguez, "La silla" addresses Dominican youth under the regime through the story of a young man who is accused of betraying his comrades while they were in jail, and of setting up a plot to assassinate the dictator. In his self-defence he states how easy it is to move from being a hero to be a traitor.
