How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A woman is pulled into the murky depths of Cold War intrigue when her father's dying wish forces her to navigate weapons trafficking and geopolitical conspiracy. It's a deliberately opaque thriller that privileges atmosphere and moral ambiguity over clarity.
