How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A harrowing and deeply felt portrait of devotion and self-sacrifice in a repressive community, where a woman's radical act of love becomes an unbearable burden. The film is as much about spiritual wrestling and the cruelty of tradition as it is a love story, intense, difficult, and ultimately transcendent."
