How It Feels

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

A grueling, relentless portrait of a family fractured by poverty and loss, as a simple burial journey becomes an odyssey through hardship and internal anguish. Watching it is like being trapped inside the suffocating weight of grief and circumstance.
