How It Feels

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

A quiet, unglamorous story of ordinary people maintaining care and dignity amid the chaos of war. The film finds profound meaning in small acts of responsibility when everything around you is collapsing.
