How It Feels

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

A richly layered mystery unfolding in a claustrophobic medieval monastery where theological debate, murder, and institutional intrigue interweave across eight hours. Watching feels like stepping into a illuminated manuscript where every shadow hides doubt, ambition, and the collision between faith and reason.
