How It Feels

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

A delightful four-minute reverie about an elderly man finding companionship and agency through a chess game with himself, brimming with charm and wit. It's a meditation on loneliness that somehow feels warm rather than melancholy.
