Between the Rains is a coming-of-age story of Kolei, a shepherd boy whose name translates to āliving amongst the goats.ā Unfolding over the course of a prolonged drought, viewers are pressed deeper into Koleiās inner conflict as he questions not only his own identity as a warrior ā a path that was chosen for him ābut also the erosion of the culture that has shaped every aspect of his life. For Kolei, becoming a warrior not only shapes masculinity and personal identity, but it is also the very foundation on which this community and society root their lives. It is a sacred, guiding pillar.
