How It Feels

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

A taut wartime thriller where ordinary fishermen discover they've harbored an enemy wolf in sheep's clothing, forcing them into a desperate game of sabotage against the clock. The tension ratchets steadily as the villagers realize what's docked in their harbor and must act before Nazi reinforcements arrive.
