How It Feels

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

A sweeping historical drama that traces one man's idealistic attempt to rule with principle in a colonial landscape where such idealism is constantly tested. It's a meditation on power, ambition, and the impossible distance between personal conviction and historical inevitability.
