Inheriting the family junkyard when her father dies unexpectedly, Simone makes eccentric punk music with her troubled savant younger brother and battles their short-fused mother intent on sending him away. A Handful of Rust is a volatile coming-of-age story about redefining life after death, salvaging beauty from decay, and collaborative music-making as a vessel of perseverance through harsh realities.

A short film from writer/director Conor Chandler Simpson and producer Lisa Lee.
