- Synopsis
- Neither war nor peace, just the wind blowing
  God is absent, but still the sun rises
  Over a lonely home between two trees in a forsaken land
  A hand emerges from the water, begging for help
  A legendary woman searches for love
  A soldier kills a stranger, and is burdened by guilt
  Following twenty-plus years of civil war, a cease-fire treaty has been reached between the Sinhala government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. In its attempt to ensure that the cease-fire isn’t breached, the Sri Lankan army’s presence is felt everyday, conveying the strange sense of a country suspended in a state of being simultaneously without war and without peace.
