How It Feels

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

A gently absurd meditation on mortality and yearning, where death itself becomes an act of compassion. This short finds dark humor and deep feeling in the collision between an old woman's acceptance and a doctor's stubborn refusal to let go.
