How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut manhunt across the Canadian wilderness where a desperate Nazi submarine crew tries to evade capture by blending into neutral territory. The film crackles with wartime paranoia and ideological confrontation as ordinary civilians become reluctant obstacles, or allies, in the soldiers' flight.
