How It Feels

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

A darkly comic standoff in a cramped waiting room where the absurdity of bureaucratic indifference crashes against human desperation, all unfolding in one dizzying continuous take. The immersive VR format traps you inside the chaos like you're actually there, caught between boredom and mounting dread.
