Film Description:
In the quiet hours before dawn, a grieving Los Angeles scavenger drives through empty streets with a secret on his passenger seat: a human heart he found discarded in an alley. As memories of his late sister surface, Nick struggles with guilt, loneliness, and the question of whether he is capable of goodness at all. Moving between past and present, Ruby unfolds as an intimate meditation on grief, morality, and the strange tenderness that can emerge from unsettling choices. In laying the heart to rest, Nick confronts the thin line between villainy and compassion—and discovers that meaning can be found in even the smallest acts of care.
