Sri Lanka endures one of the world’s highest rates of enforced disappearance, disproportionately affecting Tamils. Shot clandestinely with affected communities in a still-militarized region, the film fuses investigative documentary with allegorical magic realism. Nonfiction inquiry is threaded through a fictional tale: a mother searching for a son seized by a supernatural force haunting her village—an echo of the 26-year civil war’s absences. Together, these strands form a lyrical, communal act of witness.
