Abstract

This work, focused in the short film Roentgen, intends to scrutinize two faces in the framework of X rays: the worthwhile
remembering of its discoverer and its opposite, the deformed face of a fictional characters. These ones, gained by an inexcusable ambition and decided to achieve their goals at any price, regretfully acquire real roots.
From both standpoints, this film becomes useful for undergraduates y graduates in medical sciences because it
allows to directly and indirectly face each and every one of them to the zenith and the nadir of the human soul.
