How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A darkly comic exploration of military bureaucracy gone to absurd extremes, where a dutiful officer's professionalism meets the chaos of organizing a clandestine prostitution ring in the Peruvian jungle. It's both a satire of institutional rigidity and a portrait of a man trapped between duty and moral compromise.
