Kyoto, Japan, 1948. “Don’t question. Don’t fight. Don’t protest.”
Such an eight -year -old Noriko “Nori” is the first lesson of Kamija. She would not question why her mother left her only with these last words. She will not fight her imprisonment for her grandparents’ royal property attic. And she will not oppose the chemical bath that receives daily to lighten her skin.
A married Japanese aristocracy and her African American GI lover, Nori’s child is an outsider from birth. Her grandparents take her in, only to hide her, afraid of a stain on the royal lineage that they remain in a changing Japan. Observing a mistake, Nori accepts her solitary life, despite her natural intelligence and curiosity. But when the opportunity brings his old stepmother, Akira to the property that is his legacy and fate, Nori finds him an unexpectedly collaboratively with whom he makes a powerful bond-a bond that cannot allow his formidable grandparents and it will change the lives that he had to lead. Because now that Nori has given a glimpse of a world in which there is probably a place for him, he is ready to fight to be a part of it – a fight that can just spend everything to him.
Spread over decades and continents, fifty words for rain are a bright epic that is about the relationships that bind, which gives you strength, and means to be free.
