Un cuento que con ternura y sentido del humor, trata el Alzheimer y demencia senil, desde el cario y la comprension como la mejor manera de sobrellevar esta dolencia. Que mejor apoyo que la ayuda de un nieto travieso a su querido abuelito
In this tale, the problem of memory loss is seen from a humorous perspective, since a smile is always the best solution.
