How It Feels

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

A sweeping melodrama that traces how poverty and prejudice can trap a man, told through intimate flashbacks that reveal the humanity behind the crime. It's equal parts romantic and tragic, asking whether a person born into nothing can ever truly escape.
