How It Feels

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

A patient, observant portrait of ordinary family life where small moments, a wedding, a photograph, a misunderstanding, become windows into how we see each other and ourselves. It asks profound questions with gentle persistence and little fanfare.
