How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A disorienting body-swap premise becomes a profound existential crisis as an invisible man must confront the life, body, and vulnerabilities he's suddenly inheriting. The film balances surreal transformation with raw emotional reckoning about desire, agency, and what it means to truly know another person.
