How It Feels

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

A sleek 1980s thriller where genuine miracles collide with political machinery and moral corruption. The film maintains unease by never fully committing to whether the mysterious healer is savior or agent of darker forces.
