How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A warmly layered portrait of female friendship and self-discovery that moves between the present-day friendship of two women in a nursing home and the fierce, tender love story of two women in 1920s Alabama. It's a film that wraps you in the comfort of connection while gently examining the costs of hiding who you really are.
