“If the clouds fall” is a short documentary that follows the young artist Damy, known as one of the rappers in the hip-hop formation Black Acid. Four years ago, he lost his best friend and most loyal fan Rens, to suicide and guilt prevented him from attending the funeral. Struggling with regret and shame, he could no longer make music and he descended into a pit of darkness. After he meets with his father for the first time in a while, something changes. A solo debut EP is born, and slowly there is light at the horizon. Through intimate conversations and studiosessions, we get a look at Damy’s inner thoughts. The film shows us how music can help us find a place for difficult aspects of life.
