How It Feels

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

A tender, naturalistic portrait of two tenth-graders discovering love in 1980s Bucharest, where intellectual interests give way to the turbulence of first romance. The film captures the awkwardness and earnestness of teenage connection with understated charm.
