How It Feels

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

A delicate, observant meditation on childhood discovery in post-war Japan, where small sensory awakenings, a piece of chocolate, a beloved caretaker's presence, unlock profound emotional awareness in a three-year-old's world. The film moves gently between innocent wonder and the quiet, hidden complexities of family life.
