Everyday, farmers in the Vidarbha village in Maharashtra commit suicide as their lands stay parched and their debts accumulate. Worried that her husband will do the same, Alka, a young mother, sends her son to tag along with him every waking hour and report back to her. Irritated by his wife’s concerns, Kisna keeps his plans a secret. With newfound enthusiasm he plots new ways to save his field and his crops. To keep his spirits up, his wife regularly makes special treats even though it is beyond their means. This tug-of-war between happiness and sorrow only makes him all the more determined not to succumb to the tragic fate of other farmers. The official selection for numerous film festivals this past year, The Damned Rain is a rare but much-needed look at the pressure of farming and village life in rural India.
