How It Feels

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

A sweeping, intimate portrait of bourgeois family life in turn-of-the-century Sweden, seen through a child's wondering and sometimes troubled eyes. It's a meditation on memory, theater, and how families contain multitudes of love and cruelty in equal measure.
