How It Feels

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

A quiet, intimate portrait of a woman confronting death, loss, and the world's indifference, less a story about plot than a meditation on loneliness and connection through one old woman's anxious love for her cat. The film moves with the deliberate, heavy rhythm of someone running out of time.
