How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A haunting portrait of a woman buried alive in the desert for nearly six decades, a meditation on entrapment, resilience, and the slow erosion of hope. The film moves between past and present, watching time itself become a kind of quicksand.
