How It Feels

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

A tender and funny coming-of-age story set in rural 1980s New Zealand, where a fatherless boy builds an imagined version of his absent parent while grieving his mother's death. The film balances childlike wonder and imagination against the messy reality of family and loss.
