How It Feels

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

A tender, elegiac portrait of two people drawn together across circumstance and geography, only to find that timing and duty keep them perpetually out of reach. It's a love story told through what remains unspoken and unfulfilled.
