Estirpe

Ramiro Ceballos, a youth from Madrid ran away from home because his father, an officer from Franco's regime, wouldn't let him use his creative skills and become a comic artist. In Barcelona he created "Estirpe", the first Spanish graphic novel under a pseudonym. His father found out and he was taken back to Madrid and forced into a Military School, where he tried to commit suicide. 45 years later and after the book had become a cult favorite and was reprinted several times, a production company wanted to adapt it into a movie. In order to make the film they needed to obtain the rights from the author, so they hire María, a copyright lawyer. María discovered that Ramiro was alive, being taken care of by Andrés, an old friend from the Military School, because he was Autistic. Andrés died and María felt obliged to look after Ramiro, whom stopped taking his medication and started to draw again.
