Submitted to RTV International Film Festival 2026Synopsis
Roberto and Robi have traveled the world collecting smiles. But when hope begins to fade and the world loses its light, they discover that a smile is not enough unless we truly see the heart behind it. Their mission leads them through a snowstorm in Iceland, where they meet an albino girl who has learned to disappear into the white landscape. Through presence, compassion, and the song "I See You," she begins to feel truly seen. As her hidden light returns, color, hope, and life begin to bloom across the world once more.
