Spare Parts

About This Movie

Spare Parts dives into the life of Thorbjörn Steingrimsson, an unconventional shepherd who has traded in livestock for a bizarre assortment of broken-down cars. The film is raw and intimate, capturing the atmosphere of his scrapyard where he meticulously disassembles vehicles to salvage parts. It's slow-paced, allowing you to really soak in the details of his process and the beauty of his surroundings. The documentary feels almost meditative at times, exploring themes of resourcefulness and the passage of time in a world that often overlooks the value of what we discard. Steingrimsson's character really shines through, making the film stand out as a portrait of a man living on the fringes, with a unique sense of purpose.
