How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A morally complex portrait of a small-time con man forced into an impossible position, where maintaining a dangerous lie gradually transforms him into something more than he ever was. What begins as a Gestapo scheme becomes an exploration of identity, conscience, and the strange alchemy by which pretense can become truth.
