How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A wartime mystery that treats its crime as almost a macguffin for a deeper meditation on connection, purpose and spiritual searching among ordinary people living through extraordinary times. It unfolds like a local legend being gently retold rather than a conventional thriller.
