How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sun-dappled memoir of early 20th-century childhood in Provence, where a boy's wide-eyed wonder and budding friendships gradually teach him what his beloved father's rational world cannot. Gentle, luminous, and suffused with the particular ache of looking back on golden summers.
