How It Feels

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

A lush, carefully composed period piece about the coming-of-age of a girl sold into servitude in a geisha house, balancing intimate moments of connection and longing against the weight of circumstance and obligation. It's a film that moves between vulnerability and artistry, touching and restrained.
