The way to the north
9.99 €
A young Sri Lankan, Krishan, travels to the north of his country, torn apart by civil war, to attend the funeral of Rani, his grandmother's caregiver. Rani had lost two sons in the war and, never recovering from her experiences, suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder.

Was her death an accident, suicide or murder?

At the same time that Krishan learns of Rani's death, he receives a letter from his ex-girlfriend, the Indian activist Anjum, with whom he still loves.

Krishan's journey is both a geographical journey, to the palm-studded landscape of northern Sri Lanka, and a psychological one, to the trauma of war and his own past.
