Jordan Ressler First Feature Award

Director Rodrigo García Sáiz will be in attendance to participate in a post-screening Q&A.

Rain (Lluvia) tells six stories of interrelated characters who transit around Mexico City by a never-ending rain, drowned in misery by the hopelessness of life. Each character comes across an unexpected encounter that makes them glimpse their own souls. They experience a unique, absurd, luminous or awkward moment that reveals who they really are.

Characters include a taxi driver struck by a brutal discovery; a couple who walks a tightrope; an English teacher faced with a traumatic event; a nurse who decides to help an enigmatic patient; a sex worker who sees a face from her past again, and to a young man who is out of bed who crosses paths with a Japanese girl who wanders alone.
