How It Feels

A psychological thriller that blurs the line between a scholar's intellectual fascination and a dangerous obsession, as he becomes entangled in the dark world of a reclusive writer's mysteries. The film creates an atmosphere of creeping dread where reality and fiction begin to collapse into one another.
