How It Feels

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

A wrenching historical drama about institutional cruelty and parental desperation, anchored by the true story of a child torn from his family by papal decree. The film builds from intimate tragedy into a larger indictment of religious and political authority.
