How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A multigenerational tragedy that traces how the seduction of drug wealth corrodes indigenous tradition and family bonds, told with the weight of inevitability. Visually rich but emotionally devastating, it's a film about cultural destruction masquerading as a crime story.
