Synopsis
Colombo, at night. I find Dinuka as we did a few years ago, when we lived our intercultural idyll secretly, in the off-screen of the Srilankan superego.
Feverishly but radically, I try to collect a trace of his career as a traditional dancer and percussionist, artistically emancipating himself from the mores of our birth society. In parallel, several months after our separation and a harrowing trip to France, we cross letters that we have addressed each other since then.
Through this film, I try to unfold the story of a cross initiation liberated from its original conditioning, and the importance for each to take his place in the same world, to learn to truly love.
