How It Feels

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

A philosophically murky exploration of what it means to live when death becomes a known quantity, filtered through the detached observations of broken people drawn to an isolated compound. It's less a story than a fever dream about meaning, loss, and the limits of understanding.
