How It Feels

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

A gleefully ridiculous period comedy that treats a potato import scheme with the grandiose importance of an epic saga. It's a witty satire of entrepreneurial disruption dressed up in 17th-century Finnish drag.
