The Ability
27 October 2023
The Ability The ambitious, insensitive and furious Salvadore Ross is a man that desires the social worker Leah Maitland. They have dated in the past but Leah broke their relationship since they have different personalities. Salvatore Ross breaks his hand hitting on Leah's front door and has to spend the night in the hospital. His roommate is an old man with respiratory problem, and Salvatore offers to change his broken hand per the infection. Later he finds that the trade has worked and he learns that he has the power to trade with other people. He exchanges his youth with an old man per a fortune, and then he buys one year from several teenagers until he reaches his age again. Now he looks for Leah again, and she accepts to have dinner with him. However, despite being wealthy, she misses compassion like her father has in his behavior. Now Salvadore Ross offers Mr. Maitland a large amount for his compassion.

"The Self-Improvement of Salvadore Ross" is a bizarre episode of "The Twilight Zone". The idea of swapping characteristics is different and Salvadore Ross's ability to trade them is original. The conclusion is tragically ironic. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "O Auto-Aperfeiçoamento de Salvadore Ross" ("The Self-Improvement of Salvadore Ross")
