How It Feels

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

A sweeping intimate epic about displacement and belonging, following a Jewish family uprooted by war to find themselves on the African savanna. It's a story of loss transformed into discovery, measured in quiet moments and the slow work of learning to call somewhere new home.
