How It Feels

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

A darkly comic pressure cooker set in a gas station where everyday desperation becomes surreal comedy, using three generations of women to reflect a nation unraveling. It's sharp and socially pointed while staying playful about the chaos.
