I was captivated by the use of magic realism and the constant flashbacks of young Maya and current day Maya. with a such a unique way of storytelling, both versions of Maya go through the emotions of finding and losing love. Ulan means 'Rain' in Tagalog and we certainly see rain during several important moments of Maya's life. The way they have used rain as a symbol throughout the movie pretty much tells a story of its' own.

The more you watch the movie, the more you root for Maya to find her tale of love, but as we all know - things may never go the way you want it to and the ending leaves you with much to ponder. But maybe she did find her inner peace through all the rain.
