This mini-lesson is an excerpt from the first lesson of our course «Español con cine 1: Arrugas». This course is based on clips from a prizewinning animated movie. The script and illustrations are from a graphic novel by Paco Roca. The film is very moving and, at times, humorous.
The movie is about Emilio, a pensioner who, before retirement, was branch manager of a bank. Emilio is now showing signs of dementia and ends up in an old people’s home in Galicia. There he makes friends with Miguel, his roommate, who helps him to adjust to his new life.
In the scene you will see in this mini-lesson, Emilio is still living with his son Xoán and his daughter-in-law. Xoán seems to be very impatient with his father, who is confusing the past with the present.
In under four minutes you can learn Spanish words and expressions related to old age and banking.
