Water has existed on earth from the very beginning, 4,600,000,000 years ago, Homo sapiens arose 2,000,000 years ago. This is a journey of memory, and memory not only of men but of water. Entirely shot with a lens made of water, the camera becomes a dew on a leaf, a drip from a faucet, a drop of rain, or even water inside a girl. This film is a tale of a raindrop and a girl who has been together all the time. The girl although doubtful, is concerned and talks about "previous life" feeling that her great great great great great grandpas and grandmas have been together with her, all her life. The image, the music and the sound altogether takes you inside the water drops and also outside, melting the boundaries of human beings and water drops, leaving you in the eternal and non-existent world of nostalgia.
