How It Feels

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

A spare, methodical examination of a wagon party lost in the high desert, where desperation and distrust corrode the fragile bonds holding them together. The landscape becomes as much a character as the people, rendering their confidence and pride into exhaustion and reckoning.
