Based on the award-winning comic novel (Paco Roca, 2007), Wrinkles is a 2D animated feature film about Emilio, who, in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease, is sent by his son to live in an aged-care facility. Here he strikes up an unlikely friendship with Miguel, a scheming con artist whose days are spent tricking the more absent-minded residents. As Emilio’s situation deteriorates, Miguel is forced to recognise the damage of his own misadventures. But not before tragedy strikes…
Humorous and deeply moving, as sophisticated as it is funny, Wrinkles is a heart-warming tale recognising that we are never too old to make new friends, have adventures and perhaps even change our ways.
