How It Feels

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

A quietly observant portrait of stagnation and small dreams in rural poverty, where the drama lies in the weight of going nowhere rather than in plot mechanics. The film finds both melancholy and dark humor in the gap between youthful longing and the limited world available to these young men.
