L'incroyable histoire des machines à pluie

Ce long métrage documentaire lève le voile sur le mystère entourant les machines à pluie et les légendes qui l’entourent. Depuis toujours, la fabrication de la pluie fascine. Au Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, ces machines alimentent les conversations quotidiennes. Certains nient leur existence et se moquent de ceux qui y croient. D'autres ont des théories toutes plus originales les unes que les autres.
