How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A quiet, intimate portrait of a man trying to rebuild his life after prison, caught between his past with the IRA and a fragile rekindled romance that asks whether love can survive time and political violence. It moves with the deliberate pace of someone learning to be alive again.
