How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A man awakening from years of unconsciousness discovers a terrible gift that lets him see the shadows in other people's lives, and must decide what he's willing to sacrifice to stop a catastrophe he alone can foresee. It's a slow-burn meditation on isolation and the weight of unwanted knowledge.
