The Man with Rain in His Shoes  (1998) – directed by María Ripoll

The Man with Rain in His Shoes,  directed by María Ripoll, is a film with an international cast. It tells the story of a man who is given a second chance to redo a broken relationship, but the more he tries, the more he blunders.

This film, which stars international actors like Douglas Henshall, Lena Heady and Penélope Cruz, tells an interesting story. Sometimes we only make things worse by entering a relationship or project that is already broken.

The interesting thing about it is that we don’t realize the answer is right in front of us, but instead are so stubborn that we refuse to see it. You just have to stop, relax and look for a broader, more objective perspective. That may be the only way to find new purpose, rekindle your vitality, and regain your self-love.
