How It Feels

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

A gently comic coming-of-age story about a teenager caught between two worlds, the counterculture desert life he's known and the conventional East Coast world he's trying to enter. It's wry and warm, finding humor in the collision of bohemian values and prep-school conformity.
