How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A fantastical fable where an eccentric Parisian countess and her band of misfits outwit the soulless elite through imagination and solidarity. It's a tender-hearted, theatrically absurd meditation on whether goodness and community can triumph over greed.
