How It Feels

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

A quiet, unflinching portrait of daily life under brutal occupation, where small acts of resistance and ordinary human dignity become radical. The film moves with deliberate stillness, letting the weight of oppression accumulate through what is forbidden rather than what is shown.
