How It Feels

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

A dark comedy that uses a death and the scramble over what he left behind to expose the fractures and hidden hierarchies within a family. It finds both humor and heartbreak in how death reveals who people really are.
