Pablo was a peasant, a guerrilla and is now a patient with advanced-stage Alzheimer’s. What does life hold for you now? Who are we if we don’t remember our past? What do we do when we don’t recognize the faces of our own children? “When the rain calms down” is an intimate portrait of Pablo, this veteran who, due to his condition, deals with the simplest of daily routines and who, together with his family, heads towards a still unknown sunset.
