How It Feels

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

A quietly devastating portrait of unrequited love set in the humid streets of Kuala Lumpur, where a kind man's devotion to his injured stranger confronts the painful reality of wanting more than he can have. It moves with the slow, aching rhythm of someone learning that tenderness alone cannot bridge the gaps between people.
