- PublicationArrugas. Un viaje al extranjero, desde el comienzo hasta el final(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2013-02) Yébenes, Pilar[EN] Wrinkles, directed by Ignacio Ferreras, is one of the last 2D animation features ¿made in Spain¿ that lets us enjoy the adult audience a hard and real, though magical, story. Wrinkles is not one of those movies that leave you indifferent. It makes you think, it makes understand, it makes feel, it makes live, even when the main subject of the movie is just the opposite. Wrinkles, born as a comic book from the hands of Paco Roca, got the Spanish National Comic Award. With the images of the film, with its feelings on the surface, with large doses of implicit kindness and a gallery of characters who tell a story about friendship, loneliness, but also about the will to live, in short time it has enamored us and continues to captivating us. And as viewers we feel the need to see more real movies like this one.
