How It Feels

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

A sun-drenched, intimate portrait of a frightened boy loose in the city for a day, balancing the freedom and terror of childhood independence. Shot with documentary-like authenticity, it finds both humor and genuine pathos in small moments.
