How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A meditative reckoning with the psychological scars of war and forbidden desire, where a POW surgeon's present-day anguish is interwoven with echoes of a love that cost him everything. It moves at the pace of trauma processing: slow, circling, deeply intimate even when depicting systemic brutality.
