How It Feels

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

A doomed love triangle unfolds against the high-octane world of 1930s barnstorming pilots, where physical thrills mask emotional desperation. The film treats its aeronautical spectacle with equal weight to the messy, destructive passions threatening to tear its characters apart.
