Raindrops on a Roof

About This Movie

Raindrops on a Roof dives into the emotional undercurrents of trauma and memory with a contemplative pace. Shi'ning's journey through this 'spiritual salon' is marked by an atmosphere that feels both ethereal and grounded, capturing her struggle to navigate loss.

It's not just about the 'erase the past' concept; it's about how the past shapes us, and the film doesn’t shy away from the complexity of those emotions. The subtlety in the storytelling makes it distinctive.
