How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
Two Navy sailors are violently displaced four decades forward in time and must navigate a bewildering modern world while grappling with military conspiracies and the terrifying reality of their displacement. It's a high-concept thriller grounded in period-piece unease and the paranoia of forces beyond anyone's control.
