Prasanna Vithanage location scouting with his crew

Prasanna Vithanage has just embarked on his 05th cinematic venture.

Produced by Soma Edirisinghe for EAP Films and Theatres, this will be the first Sri Lankan film ever to boast of an ongoing website which will track the progress of the film from day one of shooting right through to its release and after.

Based on true incidents, the storyline is based on the ethnic conflict and the ensuing military confrontation between Sri Lankan armed forces and LTTE separatists.

The three different plots in three different geographical locations in Sri Lanka, come directly under the spell of the war.

They run parallel and are linked by seemingly simple elements of time and space.

They deal with simple human beings, unwillingly, caught up in the throes of a destructive civil war.

Through this emerges the greater dimension of a pathetic human tragedy and the inescapable plight of the Sinahalese, Tamils and Muslims, the three main ethnic groups of Sri Lanka.
