How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A quietly gorgeous exploration of adolescent longing and emotional displacement, where a grieving teenager's internal world collides with adult desire and the messy reality of her own conflicted feelings. It's a film that understands the intensity of teenage emotion without judgment, wrapped in a melancholic European aesthetic.
