This is a gorgeous hand-drawn 2D animation film, illustration-like, that tells the story of an unlike friendship between a little lonely boy and a red fox, the former living in an urban area, the latter in the countryside. Song for rain might be the thoughts that the leading characters have in mind when the film ends, but for different reasons.
The film has a great ambiance, is absolutely beautiful, has wonderful background music, and is very sweet and engaging despite being wordless. It feels like the beginning of a wonderful but unusual friendship that we want to explore, however it never develops. It is a pity, I thought that I wouldn't mind having a longer short to explore the relationship, or even a long feature film made out of this short as it is wonderfully artistic and has that je-ne-sais-quoi that engages the viewer effortlessly.
Still, a lovely short film.
