   What is a rough road before the rains about?

   • Fighting loneliness in 1937. A Rough Road! Before the Rains is a beautifully made drama set in south India in 1937.

(Rahul Bose), thereby immediately turning the story into a listless waiting game to see how said firearm will change the lives of these two men.
