It Was Raining

Directed by Ignacio Lillini

Argentina | 7 minutes | 2021


While his family sleeps, Iñaki is awaken by a new desire.

A suffocating summer afternoon. Eleven-year-old Iñaki lies between the semi-naked bodies of his brothers and his father. Outside, it starts to rain. Between play and desire, Iñaki kisses the back of his father. Inside, it starts to rain too. Iñaki uses his imagination to get through the situation. The guilt of exploring his sexual awakening confronts him with the fear of non-acceptance.
