"Filmmaker Rafa Zub presents a montage of East Asia’s neon-lit hustle and bustle, muffled by the calming gentle sound of rain. The relaxed tap-taps provide an interesting juxtaposition to a region of the world whose energy is anything but chill; children play war with toy machine guns, young women take selfie after selfie before a brightly colored skyline, and motorbikes travel in herds through the streets like synchronized swimmers. It’s a window into moments happening in East Asia that will never occur again, and “Ambient Rain” portrays them with honesty and creativity."
