This movie was definitely difficult to watch and is set during a very dark period in Sri Lanka's past. The story revolves around a mother whose son was abducted and taken away by paramilitary forces due to his involvement with the JVP. It follows her journey as she attempts to find out the fate of her son, whom she never sees again and bring the perpetrators to justice. The subject matter is controversial and disturbing. However, it is presented in a no-nonsense, honest style that is both moving and harrowing. It's a tale of grief, loss and finally redemption.
The cinematography was amazing and the cast did a great job as well.
I also commend the director for being brave enough to tackle such a difficult topic and bringing the horror of that period to life so successfully. It really had me thinking even days after watching it. I highly recommend this film to cinema lovers and anyone interested in Sri Lankan history.
