How It Feels

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

A sweeping romance that asks whether love can survive ideological differences and the grinding pressure of political persecution. It's achingly beautiful and quietly devastating, a film about two people who want to make it work but discover that sometimes love isn't enough.
