Aston, a quiet, reserved man, lives alone in a top-floor cluttered room of a small abandoned house in a poor London district.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A slow-burn chamber piece about fragile hospitality and dominance, where kindness curdles into psychological warfare within the confines of a crumbling room. The space itself becomes a prison where three men circle each other with unspoken hostility.
