''After Rain'' is a 2002 short film (5 minutes) from UsefulNotes/{{Hungary}}, directed by Péter Mészáros.

The setting is a small house in the woods, right after a thunderstorm. A woman is unsteadily pedaling away from the house on a bicycle. Back at the house, a man calls her name. As the camera gives some closeups of the woman, it becomes clear why she is biking away.

!!Tropes:

* BladeOfGrassCut: A closeup of a leaf, floating in the river that is close by the house.
* DomesticAbuse: The various bruises and scratches and oh yes, one set of ''teeth marks'' on the woman's thighs show that she is being physically abused by her husband.
* DownerEnding: After taking a spill on the bike, the woman turns around and goes back to her abusive husband.
* MinimalistCast: The man and the woman are the only characters.
* POVCam: Shots from the woman's POV of the leaves passing by overhead and the gravel passing by down below as she bikes away.
* SayMyName: The man calls the woman's name several times as she bikes away.
* SilenceIsGolden: No dialogue other than the man calling the woman's name several times.
