How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A quiet, deeply felt story of a boy learning hard truths about love and loss through his relationship with a cowboy and a vulnerable animal. The rural landscape becomes as important as any character in this meditation on childhood innocence meeting the world's disappointments.
