How It Feels

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

A languorous, sensual meditation on desire and displacement as a woman finds unexpected connection with a stranger in an unfamiliar city. The film moves at the pace of Cairo's streets, unhurried, intimate, and tinged with the ache of something that cannot last.
