How It Feels

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

A nostalgic trip through 1950s teenage romance and high school hijinks, told through the fond memories of a man looking back at his youthful obsession. It's charming and lighthearted, though tinged with the bittersweet awareness that some things, and some feelings, belong only to the past.
