How It Feels

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

A man's mundane bet sets off a farcical chain of misunderstandings that transforms him from nobody to hero to criminal in a single day. This is dark comedy as a whirlwind, darkly comic, propulsive, and built on the delicious unpredictability of how one small choice can spiral catastrophically out of control.
