Udu Gan Yamaya

Udugan Yamaya

portrays a mother and a child who becomes destitute with the

disappearance of their breadwinner, a ferryman. Sirimal, a

nine-year-old boy, lives with his parents and his father is

the village ferryman. The suspicious activities of some rebel

youth in the area and the occasional sound of gunshots are

recurrent in the surroundings.

The Army visits the

village looking for the youths and threatens the villagers

about giving protection to them.

While the killing continues to control the rebelling

young men for some it's the time to avenge those they

dislike and others whom they want to dispose of. Sirimal and

her mother make regular visits to detention camps and

hospital mortuaries in search of Siripala.

Who is

responsible for all the disappearances and abductions? Is it

the state? Is it is the terror? Or individual jealousy and

hatred? Udugan Yamaya is a tribute to those wives who lost

their husbands and children who lost their fathers.
