How It Feels

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

A descent into the underbelly of Manila following a vulnerable man searching for connection, where the city itself becomes a hostile force grinding away at his humanity. Harshly observed and profoundly alienating, it's a film about how poverty and exploitation can hollow a person from within.
