How It Feels

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

A tragicomic meditation on how a lifelong, unrequited attachment can define an entire existence despite, or perhaps because of, all the chaos that surrounds it. The film finds dark humor in the stubborn persistence of the heart.
