How It Feels

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

A meditative portrait of a young servant girl's quiet inner life unfolding within the confines of a Saigon household, suffused with sensory beauty and the tender yearning of unspoken love. The film moves at its own unhurried pace, asking you to sit with stillness and observation rather than plot momentum.
