How It Feels

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

A dark portrait of desperation and moral compromise, where a father's schemes to save his failing business intersect painfully with his son's kidnapping. The film strips away sentiment to examine how economic crisis can corrupt even fundamental human relationships.
