How It Feels

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

A quietly unsettling portrait of a man watching empires crumble around him, unsure who to trust or what his own purpose is anymore. The mystery deepens slowly, but the real suspense lies in the unraveling of Pascali's own certainty.
