Kiss Me in the Rain

Maire is a middle aged woman. She lives alone in a large house. Her husband is abroad most of the time for work. Her days pass empty. She fills that emptiness with newspapers. She becomes attached to reading other people’s disasters. One story shakes her more than the rest. A young woman’s husband has been killed. The killer went unpunished. The woman is raising a child on her own. Maire decides to get to know her. A friendship forms between them. The young widow, though, wants to forget what happened. She is trying to get on with her life. Eeva Litmanen and Minna Haapkylä appear in the hundred and one minute film, a Finnish production Veikko Aaltonen finished in 1999.
