How It Feels

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

A languid snapshot of small-town dissatisfaction and romantic entanglement, where four people navigate the gap between the lives they want and the lives they're actually living. It's more interested in capturing mood and yearning than plot momentum.
