How It Feels

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

A grim cat-and-mouse chase across frozen mountains during wartime, where a shepherd must shepherd refugees toward freedom while hunted by a relentless Nazi pursuer. The landscape is as much enemy as the hunter himself.
