Scars

I have always been slightly irritated by the masses of tourists who travel to Sri Lanka to loll around on the beach without knowing how much this country is in decay. Agnieszka Zwiefka’s film draws attention to many of its problems, specifically through the story of the Tamil Tiger Vetri, which has a dreamily fierce energy and presents a unique woman who doesn’t fit the traditional mould of good and bad protagonists.
