'Colewell' is a 2019 American drama film written and directed by Tom Quinn and starring Karen Allen as Nora, a middle-aged woman who runs the post office of a small town. Nora, who lives alone in the house that doubles as Colewell's post office, finds her life at a cross-roads when she learns that her contract with the United States Postal Service isn't being renewed, and postal service for Colewell will be moved to another town. Other citizens of Colewell, concerned about their mail, also sympathize with Nora.
