How it feels

A documentary about Sheikh Rehman, an artist who hand-paints unique movie posters for a old Bollywood cinema in Mumbai. The theater struggles to attract audiences as modern marketing prefers plastic posters. Rehman keeps working his way, directing assistants to create the perfect scene while ignoring the managers.
