How It Feels

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

A delightful yet bittersweet tale where mischievous raccoons deploy shapeshifting magic and slapstick chaos to resist human encroachment on their forest home. It's funny and fantastical on the surface, but carries real weight about ecological loss and collective resistance.
