As one of the first indigenous feature films to come out of the Bahamas, Rain steers us away from the tourist’s perception of a postcard paradise, taking us “over the hill” and into the turbulent life of a young local girl determined to get to know the mother who abandoned her as a child. The feature debut of writer-director Maria Govan.
"The film pulls you into Rain's offbeat plight, as she transcends the mundane quality of her current existence and forces the world to acknowledge her ambitions."
Eric Kohn, IndieWire
