How It Feels

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

A tender, unhurried portrait of two people rediscovering a love interrupted by war and time, set in the cramped domestic spaces of post-war Soviet life. The film moves through five meetings with the delicate patience of a chamber play, letting emotion accumulate through glances and restrained conversation.
