How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A quiet, unhurried portrait of a young man navigating family strain and belonging during postwar Taiwan. The film moves through time like memory itself, accumulating small moments and textures rather than building toward dramatic catharsis.
