action
Seven children run from different corners of Meissen in the pouring rain to the studio of the sculptor and graphic artist Lothar Sell . Here they meet with him regularly to create something together and learn from his artistic work. The first thing they talk about is what they want to make today and because of the weather they get the idea to carve a raindrop. Together they discuss the shape of the drop and its color appearance. Before the children start carving, they run through the rainy city singing a song.
Back in the studio, Lothar Sell gives each child the rough shape of a drop that needs to be refined . They get to work with knives and sandpaper and each individual thinks up a story like his raindrops find their way out of the Clouds found him. Now good-looking drops are made from the previous raw pieces of wood, because they only get their beautiful appearance through painting and everyone has their own ideas. With the finished drops, the children now go to a stream, let them swim and tell a story for each one of where they will swim and what experiences will await them at their destination.
