After the Rain

Reino Unido. 2006. Color. 18 min. Ficción. .
  • Film Director: Gaelle Denis.
  • Producer: Erika Forzy.
Set in a typical east London high street during an atypical hot, dry, English summer. It is a love story, between neighbours Lian and Adrian, who suffer from surreal compulsive obsessive disorders. Lian, a Chinese waitress, evaporates when she cries, only coming back with the rain; while Adrian, the laundry man, coughs feathers in times of anxiety. As their worlds and disorders collide, we watch Lian and Adrian's initial suspicion and distaste of one another give way to understanding, friendship and love.
