How It Feels

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

A haunting descent into a liminal mining town where a father and son become trapped in a world caught between the living and the dead. The film moves with dreamlike inevitability through industrial decay and moral compromise.
