It is a love drama based on the novel Črni dnevi in beli dan by Dominik Smole.
Ples v dežju is Hladnik's first feature film after he returned from Paris, where he worked with Claude Chabrol, Robert Siodmak & Philippe de Broca.
The director also participated in the choice of other materials included on the DVD: film trailers, excerpts from Enfant Terrible (1993) – the documentary portrait of Boštjan Hladnik directed by Damjan Kozole, excerpts from the television show Povečava ("Magnification", 1991) directed by Franci Slak, and excerpts from the documentary portrait of the actor Miha Baloh (1998) directed by Slavko Hren.
Apart from Slovene, it has subtitles in six languages: English, German, French, Italian, Serbian (Cyrillic) and Croatian.
