How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A high-ranking politician's night spirals into a Kafkaesque nightmare as a simple accident reveals the machinery of institutional power turning against him. It's a psychological descent into the claustrophobic world of politics and bureaucracy, where motives are obscured and everyone becomes a potential threat.
