Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Adriana Asti was 76 during filming; this was one of her final major roles before largely retiring from cinema.
The 'plum rain' of the title refers to tsuyu, Japan's rainy season in June-July — a metaphor for the film's liminal, melancholic atmosphere. The 1.0 TMDB rating stems from minimal votes, not actual critical consensus; the film received modest festival attention.
