Prasanna Vithanage : 2012
Oba nathuwa oba ekka
Selvi is a beautiful and enigmatic Tamil refugee who catches the eye of Sarathsiri, a middle-aged Buddhist pawnbroker when she comes to cash in her last jewellery. Immediately captivated, Sarathsiri follows her back to her temporary home. Discovering she is about to be wed for money to a very old man, he throws caution to the wind and offers to marry her instead. Selvi soon moves into his house and slowly falls in love with her saviour, but neither of them ever talk about their past. A chance visit from an old army friend of the pawnbroker then opens up old wounds and a terrible secret emerges. Will love help them cross the bridge? Or will the past continue to colour the present? Set in the months after the Sri Lankan thirty-year civil war, the film explores the emotional fall-out of such trauma on the lives of ordinary people.
