The Stroy...
A
Coincidental meeting of a soldier and an Army Officer, at a
dark night, in a forest burning with war. The soldier’s
efforts born out of sheer respect to save the life of his
critically wounded senior officer become futile at the end.
At the senior officer\'s death, he, nagged constantly by
his conscience, and its questioning, feels that he too was
responsible for the death of his senior officer. In the face
of this, the soldier begins to probe into the past of the
Army Officer’s life and engages in boundless sacrifice
to bring justice to him and in that process he gets his past
wrongs corrected Thus, “Beneath Sun and Moon”
will tomorrow bring us the true strength of the human bond
created between an ideal soldier and a dying Army
Officer.
Ira Hada Yata ... explore life, to
perceive life, to appreciate life,… You
Meet….
Mahasen
He, who wished for an equitable world, hence, would
not pardon even the wrongs committed by his own kindred, was
always truthful. He was just. He, as a hot current of waters
under sea, posses a sensitive and compassionate heart
underneath his Khaki uniformed, dignifiedly principled
persona. He tried to relish life by being unconventional and
by falling in love with his sensitive heart that pounded
lovingly under his rigid principles.
He, who was
not fortunate enough to adorn the crown of his love, the
results of a disobedient decision, has gone too far by then.
He was Mahasen.
Rakhitha
He, who lives
with an inexplicable fear about life, takes boundless efforts
to probe into the past of a fine persona he meets at war-
front. Though he tries hard to save a life that is on the
brink of dying out, when his efforts became a non-reality, he
begins to reproach himself thinking that it was because of
his fault that the death of his senior officer occurred.
Therefore, to compensate for his negligence, he makes
bondless sacrifices in his quest for the dead person’s
past, showering compassion to the dead person’s kindred
on behalf of the deceased. He sensitively depicts the
authentic feelings of an ideal soldier. He is Rakhitha.
Rekha
She, who
reveled in the joys of the youth, knows no lamenting about
life other than saying ‘life is beautiful’. She
has the solid character to sacrifice limitlessly for the sake
of one person with whom she becomes closely acquainted in her
life, and to wait for him for a long time. Outwardly, nobody
could have seen that she is a woman with such capacity for
sacrifice, but she who adopts perfection for a
soldier’s life, is Rekha
Banu
She is a young
girl, at the sacrifice of her life, has taken arms and
stepped into the battlefield for the sake of the salvation of
her race. She, who generously sacrifices all her young
emotions for the cause of her organization, would sometimes
raise her voice against the malpractices and injustices that
take place within their organization itself. From time to
time, it can be seen that, from her, who has buried all
wonderful youthful wishes in order to support a struggle to
salvage her race, the forcefully repressed human feelings of
the unconscious mind coming into surface. She directs us to
read about strong human feelings that surge against ruthless
terrorist feelings. She is Banu.
Thiruba Devi
She saw
through life within the miseries of a refugee camp, which she
thought was her destiny. She might perhaps have inherited
from her blood relatives the courage to live courageously
further on, when the bonds of love were broken and deserted
her in front of her own eyes. Though, born with rigid
cultural bonds, she possessed the courage to go against those
cultural bonds to live with the man she loved, also, to bear
all the sorrow that came to her at an unexpected moment, to
face all the humiliations that were directed to her by the
two prejudiced races. With true compassion she bestows her
womb to bear a child of Sinhala blood, hence, she is one of
the true links of the peace causeway that unites North and
South. She is “Thiruba Devi”
Herath Menike
Due to
her respect towards cast based traditions that descend from
generations, she intervenes into her children’s
personal lives in different ways not letting her children
flee by their free feelings and thoughts. At the end, when
she resolves to disentangle herself from the traditional ways
of her past-thinking and tries to enter into an enlightened
world, everything has come to and end. This is how Herath
Menike is.
Sama
She too is born with five senses and owns a sensitive
mind though born to a Sinhala father from a Tamil
mother’s womb. However, she is still naïve to
understand how the red blood, which is the life flow of every
human being, is categorized as Sinhala or Tamil. As a little
girl, she is bred in a Tamil society but later on, she lives
in a Sinhala society bearing different kinds of sorrows. It
is not a problem for her whether she belongs to Sinhala or
Tamil nationality. She has rights by blood inheritance both
for the Sinhala and Tamil societies. Therefore, she too has t
he right to live freely anywhere in this country. This little
girl is “Sama”. Please extend your compassionate
hands to her.
