Overview

Four young men and a young woman sit in boredom. She smokes while one strums a lute, one looks at a magazine, and two fiddle with string. The door opens and in comes a young man, cigarette between his lips, a swagger on his face. The young woman laughs. As the four young men continue disconnected activities, the other two become a couple. When the four realize something has changed, first they stare at the couple who have kissed and now are dancing slowly. The four run from the house in a kind of frenzy and return to stare. The power of sex has unnerved them.

How It Feels

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

A minimalist sketch of desire and displacement that watches five people navigate the sudden rupture of a closed social equilibrium. The film finds something deeply strange in the ordinary, restlessness, attraction, and the vertigo of being left behind.
