How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A lush, intricate romance where two damaged people find kinship in their shared compulsions, unfolding across Victorian settings with the weight of impossible choices bearing down on them. It's a film about how love and faith can become indistinguishable from self-destruction.
