CURASEPT 4 SMILE
The central focus of the fourth edition of Curasept4 is the smile itself: in this edition, we explore the role of the smile in our relationship with ourselves and with others. Guiding us on this journey are four women who have made the smile a central element of their professional lives—and beyond.
A smile is a simple gesture, yet it has a significant impact on how we perceive ourselves, on our health, on our memories, and even on our happiness.
Through four short interviews, we will explore the perspectives of four professionals who, beyond sharing their experience, also reveal something of themselves to the audience—highlighting the intrinsic power of a smile and the emotion it can evoke.
