How It Feels

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

An ambitious, sprawling portrait of faith tested by the moral compromises of politics and the horrors of fascism. This is heavyweight historical drama that demands patience but rewards it with genuine moral gravity.
