How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A quiet, introspective meditation on powerlessness in the shadow of war, where a veteran's hard-won wisdom proves painfully inadequate against the machinery of conflict. The film dwells in the emotional cost of bearing witness to tragedy you cannot prevent.
