How It Feels

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

A stark drama where personal love collides catastrophically with class warfare, as a landlord's callous destruction of a village sets him unknowingly against his own daughter's heart. Melodrama steeped in social injustice and the impossible choices between family loyalty and conscience.
