How It Feels

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

A charming wartime adventure that balances screwball romance with genuine stakes, as a cynical drifter and determined schoolteacher navigate both Japanese waters and their own prickly attraction while caring for a roomful of spirited children.
