The premiere of the film was held at New Olympia theatre, Maradana,
recently. The artistes, crew and leading figures in the cinema industry
took part at the event.
The movie depicts the struggle of a determined young woman to
overcome superstition, the ravaging sea and the iniquities of a
traditional feudal system, all of which traps her community in a cycle
of constant poverty.
It stars Sangeetha Weeraratne, Joe Abeywickrama, Cyril Wickramage,
Trilicia Gunewardena, Jackson Anthony and Veena Jayakody in the key
roles. |
