How It Feels

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

A meditative psychological drama that weaves a mother's present estrangement from her daughter with the resurfacing of a haunting childhood mystery, blurring the line between recovered memory and fairy-tale nightmare. It unfolds like a box being carefully opened, layer by layer.
