How It Feels

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

A tender meditation on loss and the rituals we create to honor it, where a man returns each year to a shared space haunted by absence and the ghost of his lover. The film sits quietly with the weight of unfinished goodbyes and the resilience of love that persists beyond death.
