Rain (2003) - Synopsis
"Things just happen, that's all.
And then they're gone."
From the novel Rain by Kirsty Gunn
"I loved the sense of atmosphere and foreboding in the novel and also the reflection on childhood... The sense of transience in that relationships come and go and that the moment is precious."
Christine Jeffs (Director, Rain)
