How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A tender, gently comic portrait of suburban adolescence in 1985 Paris, capturing the interior life of a boy caught between childhood and adulthood as he navigates family strife, first crushes, and big existential questions. It's nostalgic without being sentimental, finding both humor and melancholy in the small moments that shape who we become.
