How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A playful moral fable told in seven episodes that uses comedy and absurdity to probe what happens when ordinary people bend or break the commandments. The film delights in the gap between religious ideals and human temptation, blending lighthearted scenarios with surprisingly dark human consequences.
