The Sky, the Earth and the Rain (Spanish; Castilian: '''El cielo, la tierra y la lluvia''') is a 2008 Chilean-French-German drama film directed by José Luis Torres Leiva.[1]
The images of southern Chile depict a bleak rural landscape that appears to encroach upon any possibility of escape. Ana, Verónica, Marta, and Toro are four solitary individuals who endure their lives through routine and silence. They come together to share meals, walk along the beach, take a ferry, or simply keep each other company without the need for words. They seek love, intimacy, familial connections that don't exist, and spaces and time of their own, not only to escape their profound loneliness but also to discover themselves.[2] [3]
