How It Feels

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

A haunting meditation on the gap between who we are and who we wish to be, where a dreamlike refuge gradually reveals itself as a place of reckoning. The film draws you into quiet introspection before gently destabilizing it.
