How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A methodical war drama following a Finnish reconnaissance platoon into the wilderness during the Continuation War, where the real threat emerges not from combat but from the grinding psychological and physical toll of waiting, uncertainty, and proximity to an unseen enemy.
