Mentawai Twins

When you’re a pluviophile, a lover of rain, in Europe – you just turn some soft music on, you pull the blinds and crawl into your cosy and warm bed! You feel just fine … peace of mind carefully settles in and nothing can hurt you, no cold can sneak upon you…occasionally you count drops, one or two and sooner or later you can’t stand the rain against your window. Meanwhile, on Siberut Island, two little girls enjoy the rain….they listen to its music as drops fall into a river…absolutely enchanted, they start singing! It’s raining cats and dogs out there so they improvise and make themselves a leafy umbrella! They grow taller, they think, as the water rises! Singing continuous, words become smiles, joy is omnipresent! Would you dare to stand in the rain? Would you dare to make your own music under some leafy umbrella found on the banks of the river
