How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A darkly comic fable about a man trapped between his own gentle calling and the grim inheritance of marriage, set in Spain with the deadpan surrealism of a morality play. The film finds dark humor in the collision of death, duty, and the quiet desperation of ordinary men.
