How It Feels

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

A brutal, unflinching portrait of how war destroys both those who fight and those left waiting, told through the parallel deterioration of a soldier and the woman who loves him, with little mercy for sentiment.
