The documentary tells the story of Javier Mur, a teacher from Monzón who managed to integrate one of his 10-year-old students into the classroom while receiving treatment in Zaragoza.
Monzón becomes the main setting of the documentary that tells the story of a group of students and their teacher, Javier Mur, and the project they launched so that Guillén Abbad would not feel so far away during cancer treatment. Seven months, seven long months in which the young man, then 10 years old, was not free from learning, nor from doing homework or exams.
Today, at 14 years old, Abbad recognizes that it was one of the hardest, but also most exciting and incredible moments of his life. “I was very little, but I waited for those materials to arrive, although sometimes they sent me tests and it wasn't as fun but I did it anyway,” jokes the young man.
Once a week, his teacher, Javier Mur, came to his house to give him the tasks and exercises prepared by his classmates and, incidentally, to review the syllabus. “For me, he is the best teacher I have ever had, along with Verónica, who taught me at home and adapted to my needs,” he admits.
"It was hard, I really missed my classmates and going to class, but I endured it," he admits. His story, which this Saturday makes the leap to the big screen with the documentary 'Proyecto Guillén' that can be seen in the Palafox cinemas in the Aragonese capital, is an example that, sometimes, "even the worst can get something good no matter how incredible it may seem," he adds. “I hope this story helps more people, that would be the greatest gift,” he concludes.
