How It Feels

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

A scrappy comedy about a broke man who exploits the jury system for free meals and shelter, colliding sharply with the serious machinery of justice. It's funny and cynical in equal measure, asking what happens when desperation meets institutional obligation.
