This evening we watched a DVD we purchased in Sri Lanka during last year's trip but we'd not broken the seal. It was a smart film. It dealt with the topic of the war as some other Sinhalese award-winning movies have.I especially enjoyed the concept which involved three independent characters from very different, but ordinary backgrounds. The Moslem boy has to leave his dog behind when his village is forced to uproot. A woman, with the help of foreign national, searches for her lost partner who she suspects is a POW. Finally, a soldier on R and R visits a brothel and discovers his sister working there.
The war affects them all but in vastly different way. But twice in the film circumstance puts them all in the same frame. They didn't know each other but we knew them all.
This sure made Singhala teledrama topics look pretty lame.
