How It Feels

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

A quietly moving meditation on mastery, legacy, and the passage of time, watching an 87-year-old craftsman build what may be his final iceboat with his grandson witnessing the process. The film moves at the pace of creation itself, finding profound beauty in the details of handwork and inherited knowledge.
