Abstract (English): Truman deals with last stage of Julian´s life, an Argentinian actor who suffers from lung cancer and refuses to con‐ tinue chemotherapy because his prognosis is gloomy. In the film, Julian meets his friend Tomás, and through the nar‐ ration of the meeting we are revealed the protagonist´s concerns, fears, emotions and desires from his illness expe‐ rience. We think this story may be useful to citizens because the death topic is treated with naturalness. His analy‐ sis can also help healthcare professionals and Health Sciences professors to deliberate with patients, their families or students about coping with a terminal illness and it can bring them to reflect on personal relationships, life events and the values that really matter. This is a story that speaks, ultimately, about friendship, about life and death. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): Truman aborda la última etapa de la vida de Julián, un actor argentino que padece un cáncer de pulmón en un esta‐ dio avanzado y que rechaza continuar sometiéndose a tratamientos de quimioterapia ya que su pronóstico es infaus‐ to. En la película, a través de la narración del encuentro de Julián con su muy mejor amigo Tomás, se nos van reve‐ lando las preocupaciones, los miedos, las emociones y los deseos del protagonista desde la experiencia de su enfer‐ medad. Pensamos que esta historia puede ser útil a los ciudadanos acercándolos a la realidad de la muerte próxima de un ser querido desde una perspectiva de cotidianeidad y naturalidad. Su análisis puede, además, ayudar a los pro‐ fesionales sanitarios y a los docentes de Ciencias de la Salud a deliberar con los pacientes, sus familias o los alum‐ nos sobre el afrontamiento de una enfermedad terminal y llevarlos a reflexionar sobre las relaciones personales, los acontecimientos vitales y los valores que importan. Es esta una historia que nos habla, en definitiva, sobre la amis‐ tad, sobre la vida y sobre la muerte. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
