How It Feels

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

A tender, observant portrait of five sisters navigating the constraints of rural 1930s Ireland, where moments of grace and joy puncture an underlying melancholy. The film finds beauty in small rituals and resilience, shot through with the knowledge that this way of life is already fading.
