| Summary |
A heart-warming story of self-improvement, TRUE SMILE follows the extraordinary 1,300 kilometer journey Sergio, a blind autistic young man, undertakes with his brother. Over 30 days, Sergio and Juan Manuel traverse desert and high mountains by tandem bike, starting in Cuenca in central Spain and finishing in one of the most remote villages in Morocco’s Atlas Mountains.. The candid documentary provides a magnificent glimpse into Sergio’s impenetrable world; so similar to the desert he travels to on his trip. What underlines this story is Sergio’s amazing ability to challenge his limitations and the infinite love of his brother and companion.. Winner of a Critics Award at the Madrid Film Festival.. “True Smile emphatically affirms that disabled is not synonymous with unable—indeed, Sergio is such a winning personality that it is easy to forget that he is setting out on this improbable trek with considerable odds against him. A warm and compelling documentary portrait, this is highly recommended.” – P. Hall, Videolibrarian. “An astonishing journey.” – Zack Sharf, IndieWire |
