How It Feels

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

A gritty exploration of dynastic power and family obligation within NYC's Romani community, where leadership becomes a source of conflict rather than pride. The film immerses you in an insular world with its own codes and costs.
