Detras de la Sonrisa
Behind every smile, there’s a truth waiting to be told.
Sypnosis:
Andrea, a woman living in San Juan, Puerto Rico, appears to have everything under control, her smile, her job, her daily life. But beneath that smile lies an emotional storm she struggles to face. Haunted by the pain of a broken marriage and the weight of unspoken mental health struggles, she begins to unravel quietly. As she reaches her breaking point, unexpected moments of connection with a compassionate friend, a gentle mentor, and someone new who sees beyond her mask begin to shift her world. Detrás de la Sonrisa is a deeply human story about the invisible battles we fight, and the healing that can begin when we allow ourselves to be truly seen.
