How It Feels

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

A quiet meditation on love and loss in the shadow of extinction, where a man preserves knowledge and tenderness for a future that may never come. Bleak but profoundly human, watched through the fog of waiting.
