How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut, deeply human race against time unfolds almost entirely through a phone line, as a young crisis counselor attempts to talk a suicidal woman off the ledge while learning the painful truths that brought her there. It's a film about connection forged in desperation, treating both the caller and the counselor with quiet dignity.
