How It Feels

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

A delicate portrait of emotional entrapment in Edwardian society, where a young man finds himself caught between impossible desires and inherited duty. It's a film that prizes quiet observation over grand gesture, watching as its protagonist slowly realizes that neither love nor familial approval can be earned on his terms.
