How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A thoughtful period drama about two solitary men finding unexpected connection through the meticulous, obsessive work of building language. It's as much about what words mean as it is about the human need to be seen and valued.
