Randy, the young owner of a ranch, in the middle of a serious drought prays for rain. And almost immediately Rain (a Hollywod starlett) appears.

SYNOPSIS:

http://www.magicalrealism.us/2014/02/28/pray-for-rain/ Rain, an actress from Hollywood, meets Randy, a farmer/rancher from Texas. They are from different worlds and love wouldn’t be probable. He is in the middle of Texas’ worst drought. She is making a ridiculous film about the heroine of the Alamo (which there wasn’t one). Somehow they need to stay together in spite of her artsy, film friends. Rain is a sweet-natured, if shallow, Hollywood starlet. After breaking up with her jerk boyfriend, she is driving in Texas to escape a movie set. She meets a Texas farmer. The farmer is sensitive and adventurous Randy, is immediately smitten with Rain, and she with him. Rain’s Hollywood friends agent and manager, however, are not smitten with Randy purely because he is from “Texas” and want Rain to dump Randy and get back together with her Hollywood star boyfriend. Rain must decide which is more important: her heart and the man she loves, or her career and the approval of her friends. This film is set in West Texas in the middle the worst drought in modern history. A joke—probably already as old as the state — is being told again and again about a rancher who bet everyone in town that it never would rain again, and collected from two of them. One element of magical realism in this film is that every time Rain and Randy make love, it rains. In fact, even when they kiss it threatens rain. Their romance can potentially drench the ranch land. A second element of magical realism is that Woodrow Call and Gus McCrae appear to Randy at key points in the film. Gus encourages generosity, romance, humor, and leisure. Gus pursues his three chief interests in life: women, alcohol, and cards. Woodrow is quiet but encourages hard work and discipline. Woodrow is pessimistic about Randy’s romance with Rain.
