How It Feels

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

A quiet, intimate portrait of two people circling each other across a gulf of time and circumstance, where small objects carry the weight of unsaid things. The film dwells in the spaces between words, finding grace in the ordinary rituals of care.
