How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A morally complex chamber piece set on an isolated fishing boat, where an old man's carefully controlled world, and his unsettling bond with the girl he's raised, begins to fracture. Slow-burning and deeply uncomfortable, it demands patience to sit with its questions about possession, love, and the cost of isolation.
