Even the Rain (also known as También la lluvia) is a 2010 Spanish film about a director Sebastian and executive producer Costa who travel to Cochabamba, Bolivia to shoot a movie about the exploration and exploitation of Christopher Columbus in the New World. Sebastian and Costa find themselves in a moral crisis when their key native actor, Daniel, persistently leads the escalating Cochabamba Water War.

This film takes on significant questions of everyday life, as well as moral and human responsibility.
