How It Feels

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

A quiet, observational portrait of young men adrift between their small-town past and the indifference of the city, where restlessness meets the slow realization that growing up means confronting limits. The film lingers on moments of aimlessness and yearning with an unsentimental eye.
