no one ever talks about what life is like after you try to kill yourself.
Smile follows Jules during the summer after returning home from the lowest point in her life. Clouded by her denial, she navigates relationships with her family, her friends, and her future. Jules must decide if she is going to take the steps she needs to save herself, or fall back into a pattern of avoidance and lies. Smile is an exploration of how we respond to trauma through the relationships that shape us, the memories that haunt us, and the choices we make.
