How It Feels

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

A austere, slow-burning Soviet sci-fi meditation on the psychological toll of deep space exploration, where technical precision gives way to existential dread. The sterile confines of the ship become increasingly oppressive as the crew grapples with radiation, anomalies, and the fragility of their own minds.
