How It Feels

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

A satirical look at how the machinery of televised fame can warp an ordinary person's sense of self and relationships. It's both a comedy and a cautionary tale about the cost of constant visibility.
