How It Feels

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

A swashbuckling coming-of-age tale set among smugglers and coastal intrigue, where a young orphan discovers that the charming rogue who takes him under his wing is far more morally complex than he first appears. It's a rousing adventure with an undercurrent of melancholy about loyalty and the cost of ambition.
