Amor sin arrugas

---

Based on the graphic novel by Paco Roca

To be honest:
with your salary,

and your wife unemployed,

it's impossible to give you a mortgage

This is crazy. Jesus!

Always the same sh*t...

- We do not have time for your foolishness!

- Please, calm down.

- I've been the director for 20 years...

- Dad, you're not in the bank,

You haven't been for years.

I don't want a loan,

I just want you to eat your soup!

But... how come...

Look at the time. We'll never make it.

Anyway!

Call Julian, see if they can give

the tickets to whoever at the door,

because there's no way we'll make it

Xone, don't be like that.

Surely, we can get them at the box office

- What for? We'll only see the end..

- Come on, Xone...

Every day he's worse than the last...

Now you can go!

I'm finished.

WRINKLES:

Reception

- Hello.

- Hello.

- How are you? I'm Emilio.

- How are you? I'm Emilio.

How are you? I'm Emilio.

Look, Dad, you're

already making friends!

You'll like it here with

the other grandfathers.

You'll see, you'll be better off

here than at home.

Okay, we have to go.

We'll visit often.

Take care, Dad.

Goodbye, Emilio, see you soon.

Goodbye, son.

Goodbye, son. Goodbye, son.

Okay, Ramon, we heard you.

You're Emilio, right?

I will escort you to your room.

Okay, thank you.

Let me take your suitcase.

Don't bother, I can take it myself.

It's nothing. It's this way.

It's this way. It's this way.

I want to go with my mother.

Please, come in. I'm gonna find Miguel,

your roommate. Maybe you know him.

Okay, thank you.

I'll wait here.

Hello, roommate.

How do you like our cell?

How many years did you get?

How many years?

Don't listen to me, just a tasteless joke.

I'm Miguel, your roommate.

My name is Emilio, nice to meet you.

You are from Argentina, right?

Well, actually come from Ribadeo,

but my parents emigrated,

when I was a year old.

So you came back to the motherland.

Yeah, because there are

better nursing homes.

No, actually I came back

almost 30 years ago,

but the accent just won't go.

I can tell you my life story later.

They told me to show you the home.

Do you want to relax a bit?

Unpack your suitcase?

No, I'm not tired.

We can go now.

Well, I'll give you a grand tour.

I almost forgot,

There's an administration

fee of 10 pesetas

Give it to me now, I know a girl

who can process the fees in 2 hours

Fee? What fee?

You know, for paperwork.

Don't worry about it. It is better

to pay and forget it.

Man, I was the director of a bank,

I understand fees.

Ah, bank manager, great,

another Rockefeller.

Well, just a branch manager,

so no big shot.

No, the director is the director.

These financial affairs,

I'll explain later.

I don't understand it all,

I'm a real dummy

In any case, it's best

if you just give me the 10 now.

So we don't have to remember.

Sure, I understand.

We'll talk later. Here.

Well, come on, Rockefeller,

I'll show you around.

My name is Emilio!

Emilio.

This is the lounge.

It's the throbbing heart of our home.

Officially called the Glass Hall,

but we all call it The Aquarium.

It looks like a waiting room.

Waiting room aquarium.

Waiting room aquarium.

Ramon, today, you're a poet?

- A poet, waiting room aquarium.

- He was an announcer, he repeats everything.

Yeah, I know him,

we've already been introduced.

Ramon was a presenter on the radio.

Now he doesn't speak, just repeats.

- As if he squandered the words.

- Squandered words

Yes, Ramon.

Let's see the rest.

Let's see the rest. Let's see the rest.

Dining Room.

Library.

Bathrooms. Don't confuse them

with the women's, those are next door.

The Doctor is a little gay,

but not a bad guy.

Infirmary, here they make medicines,

to keep us doped up.

- Oh, you scared me!

- Rosi! Hey, how's it going?

Administration, seniors not allowed.

Main entrance.

You can leave that way.

I hope you like watching TV.

It's one of the few things to do here.

I'll be honest, I can't stand

these animal documentaries.

They never put on anything else.

They can't change the channel?

I don't know. In two years, it's been

nothing but documentaries.

Shall we move on?

Gymnasium.

- I didn't bring a tracksuit.

- No worries, you don't need one.

And best of all - pool.

- I didn't bring a swimsuit either.

- Don't worry, you'll never use it.

The pool is only here

to impress clients

Clients?

Whoever pays - your kids, government,...

They're the clients. Not us.

The pool is there so when they visit,

they think you're in a 5-star hotel.

What can anyone here do with a pool?

Most can't even shower without help.

I've always liked to swim.

When I was younger,

I often swam in the sea.

And when I worked at the bank,

I went to the pool at least once a week.

Actually, now I really miss it.

So, ask for the key to the pool.

Maybe they'll let you swim.

One day, I'll ask for the key.

If you need anything, tell me.

I can get you anything, even a swimsuit.

Do you know where there's a phone?

Hello, Mrs. Sol.

I have to call my children.

They left me here, but I'm fine.

They have to come pick me up.

Where's the phone?

At reception, Mrs. Sol.

And they'll let me call?

Of course they'll let you.

Pay me and then you can call later.

Okay. See, they have to

pick me up, I'm healthy.

Is it enough?

Yes, of course. Walk this way to

reception and ask for the phone.

Yes, the phone.

I have to call my children to

pick me up, because I'm healthy.

But isn't that reception right there?

It is, but don't worry, Rockefeller.

Mrs. Sol looks for the phone all day,

but she never calls.

When she gets to reception,

she can't remember what she wanted.

So much the better, they'd

never let her use the phone.

Hello? Hello?

Manuel?

I will not! I don't want to!

Ah, Rockefeller...

Sorry, you startled me.

Breathe, Rockefeller, don't have a heart attack

You'd get the record for shortest stay.

Yes.

Truth is, between you and the

announcer, a fright can't kill me.

Tell me, what is on the topfloor?

Top floor? Assisted living.

- Assisted living?

- People who can't take care of themselves.

Patients dementia or Alzheimer's.

People who aren't right in the head.

Listen, it's better not to go up there,

it's not a pretty sight.

Let's go, dinner is early here!

This is Emilio, my new roommate.

Good evening.

This is Antonia.

Welcome to the residence.

Dolores and Modesto.

Pleased.

Me too.

So, Emilio how do you like it here?

It's modern.

To be honest, I'm not used to it.

It's strange to be here.

That's normal at first.

You'll see that you get used to it quickly.

It's marvelous here.

We have everything!

For example, Dolores

have you signed up for the trip in October?

The casino? Modesto and I were wondering...

Does the price include meals?

Here we go.

Medications for Dolores and Modesta.

Give me something for leg pain,

I could dance with you.

You know that without a doctor's approval,

I can not give you anything. Talk to him.
