French filmmaker Philippe Leclerc directs the animated adventure Les Enfants de la Pluie (The Rain Children), based on the book A L'image du Dragon by Serge Brussolo. The fantasy story line involves a civilization split into two factions: the war-like Pyross who worship the sun and the peaceful Hydross who are nurtured by water. Powerful leader Razza sends some of his Pyross men into the Hydross lands to capture their sun stones. A young soldier named Skan is sent on an assignment on which he discovers some truths about the civilization and falls in love with a Hydross girl named Kallisto. French jazz violinist Didier Lockwood provides the original musical score.
