How It Feels

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

A portrait of young men on the margins surviving Christmas on the streets, where a fleeting connection offers both comfort and the weight of impossible choices. Quietly devastating, shot through with small moments of grace.
