How It Feels

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

A raw, unflinching portrait of poverty and desperation where love collides with the choices people make to survive. This is cinema that observes without sentimentality, finding tragedy in ordinary moments.
