When Guy, a drifting musician in his forties, returns to his childhood village to finish an old tape, he’s unexpectedly pulled into a creative partnership with Helen, the daughter of the local video shop owner he once idolised. As they dig through forgotten tapes, buried memories, and write and record six songs in six days, their project becomes a reckoning with nostalgia, unfinished business, and the stories we cling to. Ex‑Rental is a bittersweet comedy‑drama about late returns, lost connections, and finding your place in a world that’s moved on.
