A lyrical film-poem in a classic structure about Amsterdam, before, during and after a rain-shower. "The sun, the wind, the first raindrops, the streamed water, the sun coming back: all these things are part of a drama, without any litterature. But life and men, their steps, their actions, everything gets transformed by the rain..." (Joris Ivens)
