Rust

After 15 years of absence, Pétur returns to the remote location of Baddi's auto garage, a place that feels suspended in time, clinging to memories long forgotten. Nestled at the end of the world, this rundown garage stands as a testament to the past, where Pétur spent his formative years alongside Baddi, a rugged yet kind-hearted man who has taken it upon himself to run the struggling business. Despite the years that have passed, the garage retains an air of familiarity and nostalgia, reminding Pétur of the days filled with laughter, friendship, and unspoken tensions.

Baddi has continued to keep the garage alive, raising his two children within its walls, even as the memories of that fateful day 15 years prior linger like a shadow over their lives. The children, now teenagers, possess the innocence that Pétur once saw in himself, unaware of the dark history that taints their father's past. The presence of a dedicated worker, who tirelessly helps Baddi in the day-to-day operations, adds an essential dynamic to the ongoing life of the garage, highlighting a sense of community that has become even more crucial as the years have gone by.

As Pétur navigates the complex emotions of revisiting his past, he grapples with the haunting memories that drove him away all those years ago. The film artfully explores themes of reconciliation, forgiveness, and the weight of unresolved trauma. Through moments of tension and unexpected vulnerability, Pétur must confront the consequences of the terrible events that unfolded at the garage and find a way to heal old wounds—not just for himself, but for Baddi and his children, whose lives were irrevocably changed that fateful day.
