Set against the backdrop of the Sri Lankan Civil War, the narrative interweaves three interconnected stories of love, loss, and survival. In “Wasana and Soldier,” a Sinhalese village woman falls in love with an army soldier, becomes pregnant, and is forced to flee the village. “Son and Mother” follows a widowed Sinhala woman struggling to raise eight children in poverty, whose illicit affair is exposed, prompting her eldest son, consumed by rage and shame, to stab her. In “Tamil Girl,” a Tamil schoolgirl suffers humiliation at an army checkpoint and becomes trapped with LTTE extortion that conflict ultimately erupts in violence against her family.
