Plot Summary

Based on Paco Roca's comic of the same title (2008 Spanish National Comic Prize), WRINKLES is a 2D animated feature-length film for an adult audience. Wrinkles portrays the friendship between Emilio and Miguel, two aged gentlemen shut away in a care home. Recent arrival Emilio, in the early stages of Alzheimer, is helped by Miguel and colleagues to avoid ending up on the feared top floor of the care home, also known as the lost causes or "assisted" floor. Their wild plan infuses their otherwise tedious day-to-day with humor and tenderness, because although for some their lives are coming to an end, for them it is just a new beginning.

Did You Know?

Trivia The author, winner of the 2008 National Comic Prize for this work, did not seem too nervous before watching the adaptation for the first time. He was talking inconsequentially with the director, seated on one side, and with a journalist on the other, about the nursing home visited. During the exhibition, a few questions from the creator to the director about any changes in his story. The rest of the room in respectful silence, accompanied by people crying in the background. At 87 minutes, the session ends with Applause. The first spectators leave the room and miss a gift: Rosa Lema, 101 years old, with dementia, sings a song in credits. A treasure that the sound engineer found in one of the nursing home he visited. See more »
Goofs Emilio calls his roommate Manuel several times, even if his name is Miguel. That is Emilio's memory failing for reasons that are revealed later in the film. See more »

Crazy Credits The end credits roll with normal music, then the music is replaced with an elderly woman's voice trying to sing Gardel's "Adiós que me voy", with hospital background noise. The old lady forgets some lyrics and tells the audience we don't know her. See more »
Quotes Miguel: If you ask me, relatives are a bit like eggnog. Never around til Christmas and then suddenly it's everywhere.
