How It Feels

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

A darkly comic portrait of a family stumbling through the rituals and etiquette of a three-day funeral, where the weight of death collides messily with the mundane reality of living people crammed into one house. It's both mournful and ridiculous in equal measure.
