How It Feels

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

Three working-class schemers bungle their way through a counterfeiting plot in a comedy that finds humor in both their desperation and their incompetence. It's a warmly comic look at ordinary people trying to game the system, full of small human moments caught between the desire to get ahead and the reality of their circumstances.
