How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sprawling, comedic adventure through Soviet Russia where two mismatched schemers chase across the countryside hunting for hidden treasure in the unlikeliest of places. It is a charming, episodic romp that finds humor in the gap between grand ambitions and the absurd realities of actually achieving them.
