The story

We first see Ann as she is experiencing the rain, mentally describing how it makes her feel. Working a janitorial job, Ann's coworker Lori is envious that 23-year-old Ann keeps thin, while she has to always be careful. After work, Ann picks up her negative mother from her bakery job, who is critical of Ann's husband Don's unemployment.
