How It Feels

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

A delicate silent-era melodrama about passion and constraint, where a young woman's pursuit of genuine love sets an inevitable tragic course. The film moves with quiet fatalism toward its inevitable collision of desire and duty.
