How It Feels

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

A wartime rescue story that balances heartbreak with acts of human courage, following one man's determination to shield vulnerable children from the brutality surrounding them. It's both a portrait of small kindnesses in dark times and an affirmation of what ordinary people can do when they choose compassion.
