In 1999, teenage sisters Celeste and Eleanor survive a seismic, violent tragedy. The sisters compose and perform a song about their experience, making something lovely and cathartic out of catastrophe — while also catapulting Celeste to stardom. By 2017, the now 31-year-old Celeste is mother to a teenage daughter of her own and struggling to navigate a career fraught with scandals when another act of terrifying violence demands her attention.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A hypnotic, formally ambitious examination of how trauma and fame become inseparable, watching a woman built from catastrophe struggle under the weight of her own mythology. It's both intimate and distancing, you're pulled into Celeste's life while remaining aware of how she's performing it.
