How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A shattering exploration of childhood trauma and how two boys process the same devastating event through radically different coping mechanisms. The film sits uncomfortably in the raw emotional space between forgetting and remembering, watching these young men grapple with fragmented pasts and the fragile bonds formed in survival.
