Rather short and not easy to understand its proper meaning (at least for me), but I liked the metaphor: a "vale" that reflects itself in the sky transformed into a "cloud". Very picturesque and thought-provocing.

Ty Vyoleta, after watching that movie I tried to sum up the plot into as few words as possible. Multiple meanings here as well as covering both agendas of the white and black communities depicted in the show. So the line carries many meanings.

Yep bentlee, that just about sums it up, a brilliant film as I remember, seems these airmen didn't have the brains to fly cos they were black, true heroes, true story.....Andrew...
