How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sober examination of impossible choices made in combat and their moral aftermath, split between the chaos of the battlefield and the quiet devastation unfolding on the home front. The film refuses easy answers, holding moral weight in every frame.
