How It Feels

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

A gentle, unhurried drift through Seoul's quiet corners as a man lost in his own life repeats small moments of connection that begin to blur together. It's less about plot and more about the feeling of being untethered, searching for meaning in chance encounters and familiar streets.
