-How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A wry, surreal daydream about escaping the weight of ordinary life by imagining yourself as an inanimate object. It's funny in its sadness and oddly tender about the human desire to simply not be.
