How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A visually lush and psychologically intense portrait of a mute woman's awakening through passion and music in a harsh, isolated landscape. The film welds sensual romance with creeping dread, as desire collides with domestic violence and cultural displacement.
