How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A severe, restrained account of a real Scottish trial that hinges on a woman's secret passion and the social codes that trap her. The tension builds quietly beneath layers of propriety and doubt.
