How It Feels

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

A lyrical quest told at a gentle pace, following an abandoned cat's search for meaning and value in a wondrous world. The film feels like a fable, intimate yet philosophically curious about what truly matters.

melancholic with its dark blue's that envoke its world.
generally not an outstanding short besides its nice nature and cinematography but its still worthwhile.
