How It Feels

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

A young Roma woman navigates the collision between her dreams of escape through acting and the inescapable pull of her origins, wrestling with loyalty and self-determination as two worlds demand her allegiance. It's a tender but unflinching portrait of what it costs to move forward when moving forward means leaving people behind.
