The circularity of violence seen in a story that circles on itself. In Macedonia, during the war in Bosnia, Christians hunt an ethnic Albanian girl who may have murdered one of their own. A young monk who's taken a vow of silence offers her protection. In London, a photographic editor who's pregnant needs to talk it out with her estranged husband and chooses a toney restaurant.
Before the Rain is a 1994 Macedonian drama that explores cycles of violence across three interconnected stories set during the Bosnian War and in London. The film weaves together a tale of a young monk protecting a hunted girl in Macedonia, a pregnant photo editor confronting her estranged husband in a London restaurant, and the broader aftermath of ethnic conflict. This critically acclaimed work examines how violence begets violence through its circular narrative structure.
