How It Feels

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

A relentless, unflinching journey through the horrors of wartime Eastern Europe that offers no comfort or reprieve. This is cinema as moral reckoning, asking how humanity persists when cruelty becomes ordinary.
