Overview

An outlaw band flees a posse and rides into Refuge, a small town where no one carries a gun, drinks, or swears. The town is actually Purgatory, and the peaceful inhabitants are all famous dead outlaws and criminals such as Doc Holiday and Wild Bill Hickok who must redeem themselves before gaining admittance to Heaven... or screw up and go to Hell.

How It Feels

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

A surreal Western where outlaws stumble into a ghost town that's actually Purgatory itself, a meditation on second chances dressed up in genre clothing. It's earnestly strange and lightly supernatural, mixing the mythology of the afterlife with Old West iconography in ways that feel both playful and sobering.
