How It Feels

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

A quietly haunting animated meditation on how a single childhood injury reverberates across decades, filtering the present through persistent sensory disturbance and intrusive memory. The film sits in the space between then and now, tracing the ghost of an arbitrary cruelty.
