Film Synopsis

A man known as Willy Abenayake (Gamini Fonseka) who belongs to a wealthy family in a village in Sri Lanka, is interested in superstitious things. One day he finds an old Ola Leaf manuscript, which states the where-abouts of a treasure in a rock cave that belongs to an ancient king. However, according to the manuscript, he has to sacrifice the life of a virgin woman who has four black birth marks in her neck, in order to gain access to the treasure.

One day when he walk by a river, he accidentally comes across a young lady (Malini Fonseka), who has four black birth marks in her neck. After following the lady and collecting information about her, he decides to marry her. He eventually marries the lady and spends time with her.

In the meantime, the lady notices that her husband always spends time thinking. One day she asks him as to what keeps the man thinking all the time. He replies that he has to do a religious custom to a god in a rock. So, his wife agrees with him and thereby arranges everything for it.

After going to the rock, the man starts to fulfill the custom and finally he kills his wife as a sacrifice, with the hope of gaining access to the hidden treasure. But, unfortunately he is yet unable to get the treasure.

Sadly he comes home and decides to write the complete story, in his diary. After completing the story, he commits suicide by hanging himself.

ခြေဖဝါးတော်နုနု (Ché Phawa Daw Nu Nu) [Tender are the Feet]

Film Synopsis

Sein Lin, the drummer for a traditional Burmese dance theatre group in Rangoon, falls in love with beautiful dancer Khin San. When she leaves the group to pursue a career as a film actress, he gives her a small figure as a keepsake, a symbol of traditional theatre. He tells her to return it only when she is certain she wants to stay in film. After celebrating her first cinema successes and deciding to marry producer Hla Tun, Khin San finally gives the figure back to a sad Sein Lin. The story takes a different turn however when Khin San realizes that Hla Tun has been keeping something significant from her.
This black and white film from 1972 was made under the Burmese dictatorship, telling a story of romantic love and providing insight into the repertoire and everyday life of a traditional travelling theater group.
The way in which a traditional dancer develops into a film actress breaks with cultural tradition, as does Sein Lin’s performance in a jazz club whose signs of colonial influence are on clear display. This important reference point for today’s generation of filmmakers has now been restored. (Gabriela Seidel-Hollaender)
