Alain is a 25-year-old bare-knuckle fighter with no home and no job, and a 5-year-old son to bring up. In a bid to start a new life for them, he hitchhikes from Belgium to Antibes with the intention of moving in with his sister and her husband. One day, he meets Stephanie - who works as a killer whale trainer - in a nightclub where a fight has taken place. It's not long before the pair find themselves falling for each other and their relationship becomes ever stronger when Stephanie has an accident at work which causes her to lose both her legs. Alain is determined to help her recover and assists her as she learns to walk again with prosthetics whilst pursuing his own deeper redemption within Stephanie as their love develops.

'Rust and Bone' (with the original title of 'De rouille et d'os') is based on a collection of short stories by Craig Davidson of the same name. It's a real tearjerker; a romance drama about the power of love and the effect it can have on people and their quality of life. It has been directed by Jacques Audiard ('A Prophet', 'The Beat That My Heart Skipped') who also co-wrote the screenplay alongside his 'A Prophet' collaborator Thomas Bidegain ('Where Do We Go Now?') and will hit UK cinemas on November 2nd 2012.
