Visually stunning and haunting film from Sri Lanka by writer and director Vimukthi Jayasundara about people trapped in a remote and forsaken land in the middle of long standing civil war that has ravaged the land and its people. The story revolves around a guard, his wife and his sister longing for escape but unable to do anything about their destiny. The only things moving are the military trucks and tanks that dominates the lives of the people. Jayasundara through painting like compositions gives insight to inner plight of these people from a young girl to an old man that's captivating. The outstanding cinematography is absolutely astonishing. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
