Trivia

When Ian sits in the tent with Gina, the German poem that he recites is called "Gefunden", which means "Found". It tells of finding a little flower in the woods, which he replants in his garden and now continues to branch out and bloom. Written in 1813 by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, a widely recognized German writer and mathematician.

Gina: The tender words we said to one another are stored in the secret heart of heaven. One day like rain they will fall and spread, and our mystery will grow green over the world.

User Reviews

O.D.L.R. is d-e-e-p

This is a truly unique and deep film. If you like visual pictures that are not all spelled out for you, you will at the very least appreciate this one. Great production value and creativity with this truly independent film.

The direction and cinematography are strong. The story,intentionally enigmatic, asks you to make up your own mind as to the deeper meaning of the whole thing. And the filmmakers say, all of our interpretations are valid. Just like a good painting doesn't tell you how to interpret it, One Day Like Rain can be seen in many different ways, depending on the perspective of the viewer, and the life story they bring to it.
