How It Feels

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

A quietly observant portrait of familial estrangement and tentative reconnection, where a filmmaker returns home after a decade to navigate the small collisions and unspoken distances that accumulate in families. It moves through mundane moments, meals, conversations, creative pursuits, with the patient attention of someone learning to see what was always there.
