How It Feels

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

A visually imaginative animated fable that transposes Shakespeare's themes of power and redemption onto a contrast between industrial exploitation and natural paradise. It's a thoughtful adventure that works both as a children's story and as allegory.
