How It Feels

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

A profound, deliberately paced examination of how ordinary people navigate ethical catastrophe in their everyday lives. Each episode is a small devastation, observed with the precision of someone studying the ways we betray ourselves and each other.
