How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A languorous, philosophical meditation on futility and the passage of time as a young officer waits in a remote desert fortress for an enemy that may never come. The film dwells in the gap between expectation and lived reality, finding profound unease in routine and waiting.
