Song of the Sun God
Song of the Sun God is about the wisdom, mistakes and sacrifices of our past that enable us to live more freely in the future. Nala and Rajan, a young couple, begin their married life in 1946, on the eve of Ceylon’s independence from Britain. Arranged in marriage, they learn to love each other and protect their growing family, against the backdrop of increasing ethnic tension. As the country descends into a bloody civil war, Nala and Rajan must decide which path is best for their family; and live with the consequences of their mistakes. Over time, Nala and Rajan teach their family why some parts of their history and heritage are worth holding onto; and why some parts and people have to be left behind. Song of the Sun God spans three continents and three generations of a family that remains dedicated to its homeland, whilst learning to embrace its new home. Funny, warm and tender, we see Nala and Rajan’s family navigate war, migration, old loyalties and new beginnings, relying on the philosophy of their religion, their ancestors and each other.

When a young boy succumbs to his injuries in the ICU of a busy hospital, no one considers it anything but the result of a tragic accident.

Determined to find out what really happened to him, she embarks on a trail that takes her through the hospitals, slums and mansions of Colombo, and is forced to confront some surprising truths about herself as well as reveal dark secrets behind the apparently respectable façade of the medical establishment.
