How It Feels

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

An 11-minute Danish short film where a couple races against time on a motorcycle to catch a ferry, with Death itself as a lurking third party on their journey. The film's minimalist structure and low-key style make the mounting tension feel almost inevitable.
