How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A quiet, affecting portrait of how an isolated old man and a neglected child find solace in each other's company. Bittersweet and deeply humane, it's less about plot and more about the small, transformative moments between unlikely friends.
