How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A pastoral coming-of-age story about a boy and his adopted fawn that deepens into an exploration of maturity and loss. The film balances idyllic moments of childhood wonder with the hard truths that nature, and growing up, inevitably bring.
