Life is harsh for little Bindu after his father’s sudden death. His once lively mother becomes more and more depressive. She neglects her son and acts very mean with close relatives and other villagers. The only person left for the boy is childhood-friend Midya, daughter of the village’s merchant; but when persisting rumors pretend a relationship between Bindu’s mother and Midya’s father, the boy is completely on his own. Desperate, he starts writing letters on the sand.
Adapted from the eponymous novel of one of the biggest authors of Sinhalese’s modern literature, Simon Nawagattegama (1940-2005), A Letter written on the Sand is one of Sumitra Peries’s most touching and most personal movies. Spouse of Sri Lanka’s father of Cinema, Lester James Peries, Miss Peries is also Sri Lanka’s sole female director.
