How It Feels

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

A stark, patient portrait of economic struggle in a Sicilian fishing village, where the camera watches with unflinching honesty as one family's bid for independence collides with systemic exploitation. It moves with the deliberate rhythm of daily labor, feeling less like a story and more like a witnessed life.
