During a stormy night, Paolo is housed in a solitary hostel, a place at the edge of the surreal where social conventions are bizarre, if not improbable, and from which escape is an impossible task…  
The threats are not physical, but rather psychological and emotional. Sexuality and love, along with the desire to rise above others by winning wrestling matches that bring no prize to the winner, are but unbreakable chains, no one can get rid of if he wants to be part of human society.  
A Kafkaesque story recalling the "Castle" and "America", Rain is a reverse coming of age novel, told in explicit and ironic tones.
