How It Feels

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

A man trapped inside a whale's body must confront both the physical reality of his suffocation and the emotional weight of his father's death. It's a visceral race against time that becomes as much about inner reckoning as outer escape.
