SYNOPSIS
Sri Lanka ranks among the highest in the number of enforced disappearances in the world and most of the disappeared are Tamils. Fusing allegorical magic realism and investigative documentary and made collaboratively with impacted locals clandestinely in a region still occupied by the military, this film is a lyrical examination of these missing persons through 26 years of civil war in Sri Lanka. The nonfiction elements in this film are structured by a fictional narrative thread which tells the surreal tale of a mother who loses her son to a supernatural entity plaguing her community—a nod to the actual disappearances in the region.
