How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A whirlwind of misunderstandings and scheming where a devoted wife pursues a wild plan to fund her husband's dreams, tumbling through a series of increasingly ridiculous situations. It's a fizzy, romantic comedy that treats love and marriage as both genuinely tender and wonderfully absurd at once.
