How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A haunting nocturnal meditation on trauma and displacement, where a man newly released from political imprisonment drifts through Buenos Aires in a dreamlike haze, wrestling with fragmented memories and the ghosts of his past. The film moves between harsh historical reality and intimate psychological disorientation, creating a portrait of survival that prioritizes emotional truth over linear narrative.
