How It Feels

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

A sharp, claustrophobic short that uses the juxtaposition of escapist media against domestic terror to explore one woman's impossible choice. The mounting pressure builds toward a decision that cuts to the heart of survival and self.
