How It Feels

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

A haunting memoir of colonial life filtered through a woman's hazy, complicated recollections of her relationship with a family servant. The film sits in the tension between nostalgic memory and the uncomfortable truths it conceals.
