How It Feels

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

A curmudgeonly man facing the end of his life finds unexpected purpose when his granddaughter arrives with her own troubles. It's a quietly moving meditation on second chances and the ways family can pull us back from the edge.
