Synopsis:

Tears in the Rain contains 73 stories. It all started on my wedding day: not only was I left standing at the altar, but immediately afterwards, the priest, altar boys and assistants left the church. My surprise was greater when the great Christ presiding over the altar also left making his exit through the sacristy. Since then, without knowing the whys, everything shuns me. On the street, pedestrians move aside before my passage in an orderly and coordinated manner and turn me into an invisible river among the crowd. If I enter a place, people leave. If I go out, they come in. If I call on the phone, they hang up on me; If I send an email, I receive a message informing that it could not be delivered to the recipient… My image does not appear in the mirror, not to mention that I no longer have a shadow. The rain doesn’t touch me, the sun’s rays bounce off me, so much so that in the middle of summer I feel paralyzing cold and in winter scorching heat. The animals flee from me as if I were a fire burning their habitat. I have been disease-free for years, it also avoids me. Then my skin, soon the muscles, the viscera… I notice that it is beginning to get worse, because even I notice that I am shying away from myself and I feel distant from myself. There is nothing left of me, I even notice that nothingness shuns the nothingness that remains of me.
