How It Feels

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

A quiet, emotionally intricate film about a man inserting himself into a stranger's life under false pretenses, searching for connection and meaning in the wake of loss. It's achingly tender but carries an undercurrent of moral dread as the central deception deepens.
