The story
In Hamburg, lawyer Mara fights a harmless construction lawsuit until rain falls on every contract date—but only on certain sides of the street. Old archives reveal a secret clause by which water has been distributed for decades. When investors want to renew the contract, Mara leads the trial in a square where the clouds themselves appear as witnesses.
