How It Feels

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

An unflinching chronicle of ordinary people ensnared by Nazi persecution, tracing one family's desperate struggle and a lawyer's moral collapse across the machinery of genocide. This is witness testimony rendered as intimate drama: harrowing, patient, and deeply human.
