How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A warm-hearted fantasy where mechanical aliens become unlikely heroes to a ragtag band of apartment dwellers fighting off corporate greed. It's a film that trades in genuine sweetness and the power of small acts of kindness against uncaring systems.
