How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A quietly devastating portrait of elderly parents becoming burdens to their own children, watching their independence and dignity erode with nowhere to turn. The film finds moments of grace and longing, a dance, a bridge, a final morning together, but frames them against the cruel indifference of a world that has no use for the old.
