How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gently layered portrait of wounded people finding grace in small moments and unexpected companionship. The film moves at its own unhurried pace, building intimacy through conversation, coincidence, and the quiet rituals of a Brooklyn smoke shop.
