How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gently wry portrait of childhood resilience in rural 1950s Sweden, where a lonely boy learns to cope with upheaval by reframing his own misfortune through the lens of others' struggles. It's tender without being sentimental, finding humor and grace in small moments of connection.
