How It Feels

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

An off-kilter character study that balances deadpan humor with genuine longing, following a damaged man's collision with a young woman as he navigates the suffocation of returning home. It's tender and strange in equal measure, simultaneously heartwarming and deeply uncomfortable.
