How It Feels

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

A deadpan comedy about an elderly man's quest for salvation in Varanasi and his son's reluctant pilgrimage alongside him. It finds genuine tenderness and dark humor in the collision between spiritual urgency and worldly obligation.
