By night, Ainsley works at a deafening factory by the sea, struggling to drown out the relentless metallic sounds their body makes with each movement. When their new co-worker Simon arrives, Ainsley’s solitary existence is upended. This Desert Will Rust Your Bones is a surrealist exploration of trans love and the transformative power of being understood, even in the most barren of places.
