How It Feels

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

A comedic fish-out-of-water romp following a hapless young Egyptian man thrust into a culinary competition in China, where his cowardice and misfit status become the setup for escalating absurd situations. It's a lighthearted exploration of finding your own path when you don't fit your family's expectations.
