How It Feels

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

A languid summer romance told in retrospect, where a teenage girl's attempt to preserve her idyllic hedonism with her father sets off an emotional reckoning with maturity and loss. It's a story about how we sabotage happiness through our inability to let it change us.
