How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gentle, meandering romance about unlikely attraction in the Spanish countryside, where a young man's persistent affection gradually softens an older woman's carefully constructed defenses. It's a film that finds beauty in awkwardness, hesitation, and the tender vulnerability of opening up to connection.
