How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A raucous, darkly comic look at small-town politics and belief in the Brazilian Northeast, where a mysterious stranger's resurrection myth becomes a tool for powerful men's ambitions. The film finds both comedy and bite in the collision between spiritual yearning and political opportunism.
