How It Feels

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

A harrowing portrait of institutional cruelty and female resilience in 1960s Ireland, where three women endure systematic abuse in a convent laundry but find strength in solidarity. It's unflinching and difficult, but rooted in the quiet defiance of its characters.
