In this epic drama from one of India’s best storytellers, comes the saga of Amudha, a bright, mischievous, nine-year-old girl, who is told by her parents that she is adopted. Stunned by the news, she grows obsessed with locating her birth mother. She and her parents embark on a harrowing journey to war-torn Sri Lanka to find the woman who abandoned Amudha at birth in order to fight for peace. Beautifully picturesque and stunning to behold.
