How It Feels

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

A deadpan comedy about a struggling man whose misfortune takes a absurdist turn when he believes he's won the lottery, only to be trapped in a fever dream of unfounded hope. It's a wry portrait of desperation and delusion rendered through humor.
