How It Feels

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

A rough-around-the-edges ex-con discovers unexpected humanity through a cross-country bus journey with a group of kids who need him as much as he needs them. It's equal parts comedy and genuine warmth, with the road trip itself becoming the vehicle for transformation.
