How It Feels

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

A wealthy woman returns to her impoverished hometown with an offer that tests the moral compass of an entire community. It's a pitch-black comedy about how desperation and wealth can corrupt everyone, told with theatrical flair and unflinching social commentary.
