How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A con man and his old flame are forced to play house as a marshal and his wife in a small town, where the comedy of their pretense gradually gives way to genuine feeling. It's a western that trades gunplay for the quiet tension of people caught between who they really are and who they might become.
