How It Feels

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

A delicate, whimsical meditation on loss and meaning told through the final days of a master violinist who has chosen to fade away. It balances profound sadness with moments of absurdist tenderness, making room for both the weight of grief and the unexpected grace of human connection.
