How It Feels

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

A delirious 20-minute comedy that drops 16th-century Spanish conquistadors into present-day Cebu, mining historical documents for anachronistic chaos. It's a sharp, witty send-up of colonial ambition meeting modern resistance.
