The idyllic life in a small peaceful village is briefly interrupted by rain. "The scene is probably familiar, yet puzzling. The sounds of a peaceful landscape, perhaps early in the morning, before everything gets going. A play with sound and image, a visual reduction that is left to the imagination to interpret, that is a red herring, and does not even solve the riddle - because where can it possibly rain upwards?" (from the laudation for the Media Art Film Award, Ruhr)
