How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A grave, intimate examination of desire and deception in a 16th-century village, where the reappearance of a supposedly dead husband becomes a slow-burning mystery of who people choose to believe, and why. The film moves with the patience of a legal proceeding, weighing truth against longing until the ground beneath certainty crumbles.
