Shasha, a nomad who has moved frequently, arrives in Cascadian Oregon. Somehow, the smell of rain here reminds her of the Himalayan foothills she originally comes from. She grows an abundant garden, yet the sky suddenly rains ashes in autumn. Wildfires have erupted all around the state, and the smog keeps seeping into her house, forcing her to evacuate. Driving through the Mad Max-esque haze, her thoughts drift back to Lijiang, her ancestral hometown in China, where her maternal Nakhi tribe celebrates Fire as a divine natural force every summer. A journey of tracing dream-like currents of memories unfolds.

Morgan Rojas Cinemacy A meditative, deeply moving documentary that acts as a video diary of Shasha's most precious memories. Dec 22, 2023 Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse Despite its somewhat experimental nature, “Heaven Rain Flows Sweetly” is a film quite easy to watch, while Li's prowess in all the cinematic aspects becomes quite evident throughout its duration, and particularly in the presentation of her comments. Rated: 6.5 Dec 16, 2023 Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat A beautiful and poignant story where she laments about the passage of time and how the cold hand of progress and technology has a way of robbing us of the fond memories of our past right from under our noses. Rated: 8/10 Nov 13, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
