How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A quietly unsettling meditation on sanity and humanity, filtered through the unlikely bond between a psychiatrist and a patient who may or may not be an alien. The film hovers in ambiguity between the psychiatric and the mystical, asking harder questions than it answers.
