How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A defiantly comedic romp through wartime Warsaw where theatre people become unlikely spies, blending farce and genuine peril with theatrical flourish. It's a film that laughs in the face of darkness without losing sight of what's at stake.
