How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A languid dual narrative that braids past and present as a woman retraces her grand-aunt's scandalous life in colonial India, discovering uncomfortable truths about desire, belonging, and the choices that shape us. The film moves with the unhurried grace of memory itself, finding profound resonance in the echoes between two women's lives across generations.
