How It Feels

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

A deeply sincere road movie about two boys on a quest for hope, grounded in the reality of AIDS while never losing sight of friendship's transformative power. It's earnest and occasionally awkward, but carried by genuine warmth and the unstoppable energy of childhood belief.
