How It Feels

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

A measured, unflinching portrait of how ordinary moral compromise during wartime fractures a family from within. This is a film about the impossible choices that occupation forces upon even well-intentioned people, and the cost paid not in heroic gestures but in fractured relationships and eroding integrity.
