«Engurras» is the graphic novel by Paco Roca published by El Patito Editorial in paperback (116 pages, in Galician).
Emilio, a former bank employee, is placed by his family in a nursing home after a diagnosis of Alzheimer's. Emilio accepts the facility's rules and routines while his memory fades and he fights to preserve his identity. The work portrays old age, illness, and the loss of memories from an intimate perspective.
«Engurras» is the Galician version of «Arrugas», winner of the National Comic Award in 2008 and adapted into a movie.
May appeal to readers of any age, as it addresses Alzheimer's and old age with a human approach.
