How It Feels

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

A tender meditation on brotherhood and the passage of time, wrapped in the serene beauty of Montana fly fishing. The film moves with deliberate grace, letting quiet moments between two brothers speak to the impossibility of recapturing the past.
