How It Feels

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

A quiet, patient film that follows a man learning to parent alone in rural France, blending moments of unexpected intimacy with the everyday small defeats of caring for a child. It's less about plot than about the texture of solitude and connection.
