How It Feels

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

A Soviet war film that fractures when a hardened military commissar's pregnancy forces her into intimate domesticity with a Jewish family, becoming a study of how proximity and vulnerability can pierce through ideology and hardness.
