Overview

Naftalina, obra ganadora del XIII Premio Fnac-Salamandra Graphic, es una emocionante reflexiĆ³n sobre la familia y la identidad.

Naftalina es una extraordinaria saga familiar que se mueve entre la Italia de principios del siglo XX y la Argentina de comienzos del XXI, pero tambiĆ©n una emocionante reflexiĆ³n sobre la familia, la renuncia y el sacrificio.
Ā 
Corre el aƱo 2001 y Argentina estĆ” sumida en una grave crisis econĆ³mica. RocĆ­o, una joven de diecinueve aƱos, pierde a su abuela Vilma y, tras el entierro, se muda a la casa que Ć©sta le ha dejado. En ese entorno marcado por la ausencia, repasa la vida de Vilma y descubre que la crĆ³nica de su familia, en gran parte, estĆ” teƱida de tragedia.
Ā 
Rocƭo no sabe muy bien quƩ hacer con su vida, pero es consciente de que el camino que sus padres le proponen no la satisface. Tras conocer a fondo las razones que llevaron a su abuela a convertirse en una mujer aislada y resentida, su mayor temor es que la historia se repita.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In this moving family saga, a teenage woman uncovers the hushed history of sexual violence that shattered her grandmotherā€™s life.
Ā 
Buenos Aires, 2001. When Vilma passes away, few friends and relatives care to attend her funeral. This conspicuous absence sparks the curiosity of her 19-year-old granddaughter, Rocio, who moves into the house her grandmother has left her. In this home haunted by memories, she delves into Vilmaā€™s life and uncovers a family history shrouded in tragedy.
Ā 
Moving seamlessly between Italy at the beginning of the 20th century and Argentina at the beginning of the 21st century, Mothballs draws a poetic comparison between the lives of grandmother and granddaughter. Both women are strong-willed and ambitious, eager to forge their own way, but face pressure from family and society to conform to the paths set for them. At a crossroads in her own life, knowing well the isolation her grandmother felt, Rocio seeks to break free from the chain of history.
Ā 
Mothballs chronicles fraught family dynamics with rare nuance and sensitivity, sprinkling moments of tenderness, vulnerability, and whim amidst the pain, a showcasing tour de force that marks Sole Otero as a major talent in the global comics scene.
