How It Feels

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

A quietly devastating portrait of adolescent longing in a remote Arctic village, where the internet becomes both salvation and heartbreak. The film captures the ache of first love colliding with the vastness of distance and cultural displacement.
