How It Feels

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

A weary American businessman chases a deal in Saudi Arabia, only to find himself unraveling in the face of bureaucratic absurdity and personal mortality. It's a gentle, slightly darkly comedic portrait of a man confronting what he's become.
