How It Feels

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

A witty philosophical sparring match between a burnt-out politician and an idealistic young philosopher, where the film's true pleasure lies in watching two people gently unravel each other's certainties. It's a character study dressed up as a comedy of ideas.
