How It Feels

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

A man fleeing his father's suicide arrives at an idyllic beach town only to find that physical escape cannot outrun inner turmoil. The film is a slow, aching portrait of how paradise can become suffocating when you carry your darkness with you.
