How It Feels

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

A life-affirming collision between reserved propriety and unbridled vitality, watched through the eyes of a man learning to embrace the messiness of living. Equal parts comedy and pathos, anchored by two unforgettable characters and the island landscape of Crete.
