How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A delicate, aching portrait of two people discovering an unexpected emotional connection they know they must surrender. It's a film about the exquisite pain of longing for something beautiful that can never be, told with restrained elegance and deep compassion for impossible choices.
