How It Feels

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

A gently funny collision between monastic tranquility and youthful passion, where soccer fever disrupts a Himalayan monastery and teaches lessons about desire, community, and joy. The film finds warmth and humor in the clash between spiritual discipline and the irrepressible human spirit.
