Experiments with the 'sowing and reaping of clouds' have been going on for some time. Already in the Vietnam War, the US used a technique to make clouds rain for military purposes. In 1978, a treaty prohibited environmental modification techniques for military or other hostile use. This seemed to solve the matter and scientists could develop the geo-engineering without any worries. Finnish scientist, Hannele Korhonen, travels to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to work with scientists from nine other countries on a special project with a research grant of one and a half million dollars. Filmmaker Tuija Halttunen follows her life and research in the UAE, including when Korhonen begins to doubt the true purpose of the project. After all, the UAE never signed the treaty. She faces an ethical dilemma. Should she focus on the science itself? Or should she take into account the potentially problematic implications of her research for international politics and the environment?
