How It Feels

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

A quietly devastating meditation on what makes someone a father, unfolding with patient precision as two families navigate the impossible choice forced upon them by a hospital error. It's tender without sentimentality, asking difficult questions about love, obligation, and belonging.
