Discovering that Riss was engaged to another man, Pugach hires some men to throw lye in her face, and he serves 14 years in prison for the crime.

How It Feels

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

A darkly compelling examination of a real-life relationship built on violence, obsession, and a bewildering choice to marry the man who brutally attacked you. This documentary sits uneasily between tragedy and almost-surreal melodrama.
