How It Feels

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

A wry, human-scaled documentary about two neighboring farmers with the same name who find themselves on opposite sides of a quietly profound divide between traditional livelihoods and ecological restoration. It finds both comedy and genuine tension in a rural community grappling with irreversible change.
