Overview

Naftalina, obra ganadora del XIII Premio Fnac-Salamandra Graphic, es una emocionante reflexión 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 también una emocionante reflexión sobre la familia, la renuncia y el sacrificio.
 
Corre el año 2001 y Argentina está sumida en una grave crisis económica. Rocío, una joven de diecinueve años, pierde a su abuela Vilma y, tras el entierro, se muda a la casa que ésta le ha dejado. En ese entorno marcado por la ausencia, repasa la vida de Vilma y descubre que la crónica de su familia, en gran parte, está teñida de tragedia.
 
Rocío no sabe muy bien qué 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 grandmother’s life.
 
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 Vilma’s life and uncovers a family history shrouded in tragedy.
 
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.
 
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.
