How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A richly appointed period drama about three people caught in a web of desire, deception, and circumstance that rewards no one. It's a study in how love and money rarely align, told with elegant restraint and genuine emotional cost.
