How It Feels

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

A dark comedy about a man's catastrophic fall from rural wealth to urban destitution, tracking his unraveling as drought, family betrayal, and the clash between village tradition and city life conspire to destroy everything he has. It's a portrait of helplessness wrapped in dark humor.
