How It Feels

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

A deeply unsettling portrait of disconnection in the digital age, following a runaway girl into a fraying pseudo-family bound by loneliness and desperation. Kiyoshi Kurosawa builds quiet dread through precise observation of how damaged people create and destroy artificial intimacy.
