How It Feels

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

A spare, unadorned portrait of displacement and sacrifice following a young man forced to abandon his aspirations to survive as an undocumented immigrant. It's a film that sits with the quiet desperation of living in the margins, offering no easy resolutions but a clear-eyed understanding of its protagonist's constrained choices.
