How It Feels

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

A sparse, dialogue-driven observation of strangers whose lives briefly intersect through the passing of a single twenty-dollar bill. The film unfolds with patient precision and an almost meditative attention to how small moments and chance encounters shape human connection.
