How It Feels

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

A shattering meditation on freedom that reveals prison walls are only one kind of cage. The film captures how oppression seeps into every corner of life, family bonds, cultural tradition, state power, leaving its characters caught between conflicting loyalties with nowhere truly safe.
