review 1: Magistral cómic independente que documenta los cuatro últimos años de vida de los padres de la autora. Se trata de una narración lineal y sin efectismos, no tanto en la linea de Arrugas de Roca como en la de la devastadora Amour de Michael Haneke, aunque se permite algún momento de humor que contribuye a hacer la obra algo más ligera y accesible. No es un trabajo que profundice en el patetismo de la vejez pues está narrado desde el punto de vista de la hija, que lucha día a día contra lo inevitable, haciendo lo posible para mejorar la calidad de vida de sus padres en sus últimos días.
