The setting is a city block during a sweltering summer, where the residents serve as representatives of the not-very-idealized American melting pot. There is idle chitchat, gossip, jealousy, racism, adultery, and suddenly but not unexpectedly, a murder.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A heat-soaked, unflinching portrait of tenement life where petty human dramas, gossip, jealousy, desire, simmer toward tragedy. The film watches ordinary people collide with their worst impulses, indifferent to the heat pressing down on them all.
