How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A haunting, introspective animation about a withdrawn girl drawn into the mystery of an enigmatic friend, where the boundary between reality and memory dissolves. The film moves with deliberate grace, asking quietly whether some connections transcend the material world.
