How It Feels

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

A sun-soaked portrait of friendship tested by time and circumstance, following three surfers from carefree youth through the turbulent 1960s and back to the ocean that shaped them. It moves between playful nostalgia and genuine melancholy, ultimately asking what remains when we reconnect with who we once were.
