How It Feels

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

A richly textured portrait of ambition and social change in 1930s Yorkshire, following a determined woman navigating small-town politics and institutional resistance to forge a new path. The series builds intimacy through interconnected lives and complicated human relationships rather than grand gestures.
