How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A film that holds both devastating historical horror and the power of love and storytelling in the same frame, asking whether the most human act is protecting those we cherish through whatever means we have. It's a tender, difficult watch that somehow finds light without denying darkness.
