Rust

Rust presents a gripping narrative set during a hot summer, where the lives of children are irrevocably altered following the discovery of two girls who have been raped and murdered. The children hold knowledge of the suspect but face the daunting challenge of being dismissed by the adults around them. In a desperate bid for justice, they choose to remain silent, leading to a tense atmosphere of fear and uncertainty.

As events unravel, the stakes rise when one of their friends' sisters goes missing, prompting the children to take matters into their own hands. The film examines themes of innocence lost and the moral dilemmas faced when authority fails to protect the vulnerable. With a talented cast including Filippo Timi, Stefano Accorsi, and Valeria Solarino, Rust offers a poignant look at the impact of violence and the fight for truth in a world that often overlooks the voices of the young.
