Smile4Kime is a timely character-driven short documentary that uses animation and live action footage to explore the taboo topics of sexual violence, trauma, and mental health through the perspectives of two Black women. The film's story unfolds as a conversation between the two protagonists, the director (Elena) and Kime, best friends who commune with each other through Elena’s spiritual practice after Kime’s untimely death. The narrative arc of the film foregoes traditional linear modes of storytelling and instead throws viewers into different spaces and times. In flashbacks, we hear Kime reflect on her experience with trauma, depression and sexual assault. The movement between the past and present happens through Elena's altar, and is inspired by her spiritual practice of Puerto Rican Espiritismo. Through it we are transported into the past, to spiritual and dream worlds, and future moments that were never realized. Animation becomes the creative tool by which the altar — and Kime — comes alive. Memory and interactions with Kime’s spirit allow the audience to bear witness to Elena's grieving process as she attempts to come to terms with her own trauma and mental health challenges. By the end of the film, we arrive at a new beginning; one where Kime’s and Elena's friendship has transformed, and even in Kime's death, they continue to help each other grow stronger.
