How It Feels

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

A darkly comic moral parable that transforms everyday neighborly dispute into visceral physical comedy through ingenious stop-motion animation of live actors. The escalating absurdity and violence over a trivial prize becomes both hilarious and horrifying, leaving you unsettled about how quickly human conflict can spiral.
