How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A warm, gently comic ensemble romance where a ragtag group of lonely Danes find unexpected connection through an Italian language class. It's intimate and life-affirming without being saccharine.
