How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A vibrant, hilarious romp through the chaos of adolescence that uses magical transformation as the perfect metaphor for losing control of yourself when emotions run high. It's a love letter to the messy, embarrassing, exhilarating experience of being a teenager caught between your family's expectations and who you're becoming.
