Set against the lush backdrop of rural Hawai‘i, After the Rain follows the resilient journey of the Kanoa family — Leilani and James, a devoted young couple, and their five spirited children — as they grapple with the aftermath of a devastating tropical storm that wipes out their home. Displaced from the coastal haven they cherished, the family is forced to seek refuge with estranged relatives in the mountains, where tensions run high and space is tight.
With each child coping differently — from withdrawn teenage Manu finding solace in surf-rebuilding efforts, to imaginative little Kai dreaming up sea creatures to protect their new home — Leilani and James must not only rebuild their lives physically, but emotionally. As they dig deep into Hawaiian traditions of resilience, community, and aloha ‘āina (love of the land), they discover that healing sometimes flows in unexpected ways — through music, storytelling, and the strength of family.
In the end, After the Rain is a tender portrait of a family weathering more than just storms — it’s about rediscovering home, not in a place, but in each other. 🌺
