Susan, a single mother of two, works as a waitress in a small town.

When Henry discovers that the girl next door has a terrible secret, he implores Susan to take matters into her own hands.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deeply unsettling drama that blurs the line between protection and transgression, following a family's unraveling when a child's moral certainty pushes everyone toward moral compromise. The film's tonal shifts and heavy subject matter create an experience that lingers uncomfortably long after it ends.
