How It Feels

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

A charmingly ramshackle B-movie where a rubber-suited robot grapples with an impossible conflict between programmed duty and unexpected emotion. The film leans into its own low-budget absurdity while mining genuine pathos from the central paradox.
