Idir is an Iranian who, along with his wife and two children, reports to the immigration office. In order to obtain British citizenship for himself and his family, he must pass a special test. Together with other men, he is supposed to answer 25 questions that will decide their fate. After a fairly normal start, the test becomes more and more unusual. It soon turns out that much more is being tested on the test than just the knowledge of the participants. The test room turns into a field of struggle for survival.
The short story raises important questions of a modern society characterized by intolerance and unethical treatment.
The reading group is led by Eva Zadravec and Sara Tea Sotlar Bole.
Idir je Iranec, ki se skupaj z ženo in dvema otrokoma oglasi na uradu za priseljence. Da bi zase in za svojo družino pridobil britansko državljanstvo, mora opraviti poseben preizkus. Skupaj z drugimi moškimi naj bi odgovoril na 25 vprašanj, ki bodo odločila o njihovi usodi. Po dokaj običajnem začetku preizkus postaja vedno bolj nenavaden. Kmalu se izkaže, da se na testu preverja veliko več kot le znanje udeležencev. Prostor za preizkus se spremeni v polje boja za preživetje.
Kratka zgodba odpira pomembna vprašanja sodobne družbe, ki jo zaznamujeta nestrpnost in neetično ravnanje.
Bralno skupino vodita Eva Zadravec in Sara Tea Sotlar Bole.
