How It Feels

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

A punishing, immersive descent into the daily reality of heroin addiction and urban marginalization in Lisbon, told through fragmentary scenes that accumulate into a portrait of entrapment. Watching feels less like narrative pleasure and more like bearing witness to lives in crisis.
