How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A man's progressive shrinking transforms his ordinary home into a hostile, overwhelming landscape where everyday objects become monuments and survival itself grows impossible. It's a disquieting meditation on powerlessness dressed in the language of science fiction.
