How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A richly textured examination of colonial hypocrisy and forbidden desire, where personal romance collides with the rigid social structures of a Caribbean island. The film probes the cost of transgression when passion threatens the delicate power dynamics that hold a society together.
