How It Feels

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

A warm, nostalgia-tinged comedy about a teenage screw-up navigating the gap between who he was and who he might become, set against the golden haze of a Roman summer in 1989. It's the kind of film that finds genuine heart in small moments of human connection and misunderstanding.
