The Smile Man

The Smile Man (2013) — watch online on iFILM — a 10-minute dramatic comedy directed by Anton Lanshakov, a Russian-American co-production starring Willem Dafoe.

A car accident leaves the main character with a spinal injury that fixes a permanent smile on his face. Grief, frustration, pain — the expression never changes. Ten minutes about the gap between what your face shows and what life is doing to you on the inside. Dafoe does more with this small, offbeat premise than seems possible for the runtime.
