There Will Come Soft Rains

Haunted by rising sea levels, a daughter digs up her father’s grave to move his body to higher ground.

There Will Come Soft Rains

The Climate Spring-funded short film (and winner of Climate Spring's and Film London's The Hot House Shorts 2023 competition), directed and co-written by BAFTA nominated director Elham Ehsas, follows protagonist Mira, who, haunted by rising sea levels, defies tradition and her Muslim faith to dig up her father’s grave. Leading her on a collision course with the authorities, faith and family, the story also emphasises the power of unity, forgiveness and second chances, both in saving ourselves and our planet.

The project utilised the Green Rider Handshake Agreement, allowing actors and productions to make greener choices on set.
