How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A grinding portrait of how institutional life corrodes idealism: watch as a young cop's carefully planned future quietly collapses under the weight of the job he thought was temporary. It's procedural on the surface but profoundly about what the work does to the person.
