How It Feels

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

A grim, morally murky interrogation of loyalty and trust during wartime, where the line between enemy and ally collapses entirely. The film's long suppression speaks to its uncomfortable questioning of who deserves a second chance.
