How It Feels

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

A gently playful cosmic courtroom comedy about second chances that balances existential questions with genuine warmth. It's a film about learning to live by confronting your fears, wrapped in the cosy comfort of an afterlife bureaucracy.
