How It Feels

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

A meditative portrait of a decaying Jakarta hotel and the man who tends it, watching time accumulate in a place destined to vanish. The film moves with the patience of tides, asking what remains when buildings and the lives within them slip away.
