When Valerio finds a girlfriend, their fledgling romance will be threatened by an insanely jealous third wheel.

How It Feels

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

A darkly erotic portrait of frustrated desire set in an Italian seaside town, where a taxidermist's misplaced affection festers into creeping menace. It's a film about the gap between what we feel and what we're permitted to have, told through discomfiting proximity to someone spiraling.
