How It Feels

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

A woman confronts the fragility of her carefully constructed life when a health diagnosis forces her to untangle decades of family assumptions and reckon with who she really is before time runs out. It is a quiet reckoning that moves inward as much as it does outward.
