So, 'After the Long Rains' is an interesting piece. It centers on Aisha, this young girl with a dream to fish, but she's caught in the traditional views of her mother. The atmosphere is quite poignant; you can feel the tension between her aspirations and societal expectations. The pacing is deliberate—never rushed—allowing the weight of Aisha's journey to sink in. I found Hassan's character to be a standout, the way he breaks down barriers and teaches Aisha is really touching. The film leans heavily into themes of gender roles and self-discovery, which are handled with a certain nuance. You can see they made an effort with practical effects, especially in the fishing scenes. Not your typical coming-of-age story, but it definitely leaves an impression.
