How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A meditation on time's passage and human change, following the same faces across four decades as their dreams, disappointments, and unexpected turns unfold. It's simultaneously heartwarming and melancholic, a rare glimpse at how lives actually lived compare to the futures once imagined.
