SYNOPSIS

A gently humanist story of the American West from Max Walker-Silverman (A Love Song), Rebuilding follows Dusty (Josh O’Connor), a reserved, divorced father whose ranch has burned down in a devastating wildfire. Now living in a trailer community on a FEMA campsite, Dusty finds solace with his new neighbors who have also lost everything, quietly reassembles his life, and starts reconnecting with his ex-wife Ruby (Meghann Fahy) and young daughter Callie-Rose (Lily LaTorre). Filmed against the rapturous backdrop of southern Colorado, Rebuilding is a ruminative, moving portrait of resilience and human connection in the wake of loss. Featuring exquisitely etched performances by its entire cast—which also includes Kali Reis and the legendary Amy Madigan—the film brings the mythos of the American cowboy into direct confrontation with our ongoing environmental crisis, finding hope and promise in the wide-open landscape and the people who call it home.

Josh O'Connor is magnetic in sensitive portrait of resilience
