How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A heartfelt drama about an unconventional medical student who harnesses humor and human connection to challenge the sterile, dehumanizing systems of medicine. It's an inspiring story about choosing compassion over convention, though it doesn't shy away from the weight of suffering beneath its comedy.
