How It Feels

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

A warmly funny film about the collision between tradition and authenticity, where a lie of omission threatens to unravel under the weight of family expectations and genuine connection. It's both laugh-out-loud entertaining and genuinely touching about what we hide and why.
