The film offers a fascinating and hypnotic ethnographic study of the filmmaker's hometown, punctuated by the evolution of the approaching storm. Providing a commentary on climate change, as well as how life must somehow go on, even as the rain pours and the streets flood, the film is not only a portrait of a place, but also of the resilience of people.​
