How It Feels

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

A charming 80s sci-fi comedy that uses an alien fish-out-of-water premise to explore what it means to choose love and belonging over duty. It's sweet, silly, and surprisingly tender about grief and found family.
