How It Feels

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

A darkly comic fable about gangland ice cream wars in Glasgow that balances whimsy with genuine menace. It's a film that treats a ridiculous subject with the gravity of a crime saga, finding comedy and humanity in the collision.
