How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A brisk, light-hearted comedy about two rivals separated by nothing but a border line, playing cat-and-mouse with bureaucratic absurdity as their real weapon. The film finds its humor in nationality, legality, and the ridiculous consequences of paperwork.
