How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A lush, carefully composed period romance about forbidden desire and the price of reinvention, where passion and deception walk a precarious line. The film moves with deliberate pacing, letting longing accumulate beneath propriety and restraint.
