How It Feels

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

A dedicated teacher upends his life to reconnect with his children, only to land in a chaotic suburban classroom where he must navigate the gap between his idealism and the harsh realities of his students' lives. It's a tender story about second chances, personal sacrifice, and whether education can bridge the chasms that divide us.
