Described as a 'timeless visual poem',[5] the story centres around a young woman (played by Tara Hungerford) who loses her umbrella in a café. The incident alters her perception of the world, bringing with it an acceptance of loss and change. The film's music was composed by Nicholas Lloyd-Webber, son of Andrew Lloyd-Webber.[1]

The film was featured as part of the Rendez-Vous du Cinéma Québécois et Francophone 2008 programme at the Vancouver International Film Centre.[6] A still image from the film was featured at a Heritage Vancouver Long Table Social Series in April 2010, a series connecting Vancouver's visual arts with its heritage structures.[7] In 2015, Women in Film and Television Vancouver included the film as part of its 25th Anniversary Retrospective.[8]
