It stands for restrained grief, the pride of not showing sadness, and a quiet tribute to someone gone. Online it comments on gut-punch scenes, the end of a beloved show or a wave of nostalgia. In English the same trick is usually summed up as “it’s raining”, a wink to everyone who has ever blamed their tears on the weather.

Where does the “Rentrons il commence à pleuvoir” meme come from?
