How It Feels

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

A tragicomic portrait of 1960s Madrid under Franco's shadow, following a repressed young woman forced into an improbable masquerade that gradually opens her eyes to a different way of living. It moves between satire and genuine emotional tenderness, finding humanity in the cracks of a rigid authoritarian system.
