How It Feels

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

A tender comedy set amid ideological oppression, where romance blooms in the most unlikely place, a Communist labor camp for the supposedly unreformable. It finds both humor and heartache in the small acts of rebellion that constitute living fully under an iron system.
