Set during the Great Depression, 'Paper Moon' follows the adventures of a con artist, Moses Pray, and a young girl, Addie Loggins, who may be his daughter. The pair team up to pull off small-time scams across the Midwest, selling Bibles to widows by claiming they were pre-ordered by their deceased husbands. The film is a blend of comedy and drama, featuring sharp dialogue and a unique father-daughter dynamic, all shot in striking black and white to evoke the era.
