How It Feels

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

A meditative portrait of a dying man's final days, where the boundaries between living and dead, present and past, grow gently permeable. It's less a narrative than a sustained, unhurried meditation on loss, belonging, and the long reach of our connections across lives.
