How It Feels

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

A quiet, introspective portrait of a man caught between worlds, a freedom fighter unable to reconcile his past with a present that has no place for him. The film moves through his quiet desperation with restraint and gravity.
