How It Feels

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

An American-born Chinese man returns to Shanghai to settle his grandmother's estate and finds himself unexpectedly drawn into both the city's neon-soaked underbelly and a reckoning with the heritage he's long rejected. It's a tender, slightly comedic exploration of belonging that balances fish-out-of-water humor with genuine cultural awakening.
