How It Feels

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

A harrowing portrait of a family unit bound by desperation and complicity, where a child's vulnerability is exploited in the service of scams. It's a deeply uncomfortable look at how exploitation can become normalized within the cycle of poverty.
