If It Rains

If It Rains is the story of three generations of men of the Bhutia family,
mask-maker- rain-stopper, mask-maker-lottery-addict and a young boy who
live between the small city of Gantgtok and the mountain hamlet of Tinjim,
in the state of Sikkim in India which borders Tibet in the eastern
Himalayas .  Spread over nine years (1999-2007) the film tries to explore
the conflicts of contemporary living in Sikkim by interweaving the
narratives of it’s main characters: Sonam Bhutia, the young boy; the
father of the boy, Duduk Bhutia, a mask-maker and a compulsive lottery
player who is caught between a balanced life and a defeated one; Sonams’s
grandfather, Duduks’s father, Dorji Bhutia, a man reputed to have
supernatural powers.
