How It Feels

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

A bright, candy-colored comedy that finds genuine warmth and humor in the absurdity of conversion therapy, while celebrating self-discovery and queer love. It's earnest about its characters' journeys without losing its playful spirit.
