📖 Story
A smooth-talking swindler discovers he's stuck with a sharp-tongued girl who might be his daughter, and together they navigate Depression-era America with charm and cunning. Paper Moon balances laugh-out-loud cons and petty crimes with an aching portrait of two lost souls finding unexpected kinship on the road. Beneath the hustle and the schemes lies a tender story about family, identity, and the masks we wear to survive.
