卡比雷的另一部杰作，《伊莲娜在雨中到达》是96年哥伦比亚五部最佳影片的第一位，也是同年最成功的拉丁美洲电影之一。Abdul刚从休达的监狱里释放出来就准备买一艘船，与好朋友Maqroll以及美丽的Ilona三人一同再度享受以前那种冒险而醉人的生活。Maqroll和Ilona在巴拿马偶然遇上，决定经营一间妓院来赚钱，以此帮助Abdul实现他的计划。但是一个患有精神病的神秘的女人Larissa与Ilona展开了一段病态的关系，使计划全盘推翻，并由此引发一场悲剧……

Maqroll, Ilona, and Abdul all share a common dream: to sail the world in a tramp-steamer. But who could afford such a thing? Over the years they have become separated. Alone in Panama City, smuggler Maqroll is finding neither great success nor happiness — until the tropical rains come, bringing Ilona: friend, lover, and partner in crime. Abdul, in Morocco, has found a steamer to suit them. In Panama, Ilona and Maqroll begin a new scheme, in search of impossible wealth. But fate has further twists in store.
