Overview

Will Penny, an aging cowpoke, takes a job on a ranch which requires him to ride the line of the property looking for trespassers or, worse, squatters. He finds that his cabin in the high mountains has been appropriated by a woman whose guide to Oregon has deserted her and her son. Too ashamed to kick mother and child out just as the bitter winter of the mountains sets in, he agrees to share the cabin until the spring thaw. But it isn't just the snow that slowly thaws; the lonely man and woman soon forget their mutual hostility and start developing a deep love for one another.

How It Feels

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

A quietly moving character study of two solitary people finding unexpected warmth in each other during a snowbound winter. The film trades gunslinging spectacle for intimate emotional discovery, letting its sparse mountain setting and understated performances do the heavy lifting.
