Rain in 2020
This documentary, shot over seven years, shows the changes in a family alongside the realities of society in Myanmar. In 2020, the pandemic was spreading, and a major collapse at a jade mine killed and injured many miners. Ah Tian was forced to go back home during the rainy season. There, heavy rain floods the entire village, including his family with sewage. Their lives, in their masks, getting soaked over and over again, mirrors that of others in Myanmar, lucking out life’s dilemmas. Nobody knows when the muddy water will be gone or what the calm after the storm is.
