How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A patient, observational account of one man's quiet determination to reach a lost child, moving at the pace of genuine human connection rather than dramatic revelation. The film honors both the mystery of what Victor might have been and the delicate, frustrating work of teaching him to be human.
