How It Feels

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

A sweeping, two-timeline meditation on the messy persistence of love and loss, suggesting that the ways we hurt and heal across generations might be more connected than we realize. Emotionally intricate but ultimately moving, it asks whether perfect happiness is possible or even the point.
