Described as a 'timeless visual poem',[5] the story centres around a young woman (played by Tara Hungerford) who loses her umbrella in a café. The incident alters her perception of the world, bringing with it an acceptance of loss and change. The film's music was composed by Nick Lloyd Webber, son of Andrew Lloyd Webber.[1]
The film was featured as part of the Rendez-Vous du Cinéma Québécois et Francophone 2008 programme at the Vancouver International Film Centre.[6] A still image from the film was featured at a Heritage Vancouver Long Table Social Series in April 2010, a series connecting Vancouver's visual arts with its heritage structures.[7] In 2015, Women in Film and Television Vancouver included the film as part of its 25th Anniversary Retrospective.[8]
