How It Feels

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

A deeply uncomfortable portrait of desire and captivity where an act of charity curdles into psychological imprisonment. The film steadily tightens the screws, trapping you in a confined space with two people who cannot communicate but are terribly, dangerously bound together.
