Ingirinthu

Ingirunthu (Here and Now) is the story of a deaf mute, a struggling mother and a researcher from Colombo whose lives are thrown together on a vibrant tea plantation in Sri Lanka, in the backdrop of escalating social and political violence. It is a multi textured and multi narrative film about the minority Tamil tea plantation people of Sri lanka who were brought over from South India as indentured labour in the 19th century. It combines story telling, fiction, melodrama, fantasy and suspense with documentary detail, archival material, news telecast and historical reconstructions.
