How It Feels

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

A wry, character-driven comedy about two middle-aged men discovering companionship through wine and mischief in postwar Normandy. It's both tender and mournful, a film about the allure of old habits and the price of respectability.
