How to Kill a Cloud

Scientist Hannele Korhonen has one ultimate passion: to be the best at what she does and be recognized for it. Her life changes dramatically when she is awarded a 1,5 million USD research grant by the United Arab Emirates to participate in their ambitious project to stimulate rainfall over the notoriously arid region. The opportunity to get proper funding and do good sounds amazing. But, gradually Hannele learns that the financiers have their own agenda. Her enthusiasm morphs into an ethical dilemma and inner conflicts. If she succeeds in making it rain, is she giving means to rule the clouds? What is the ultimate price of ambition? An ambient, fragile film about clouds, cultural practices, and the temptations of environmental engineering.
