You see her in her home and she talks to the camera about her life and family. The entire focus of the film then changes completely-to a young girl who is about to turn 9 in Madras, India. At a refugee center, you see the lady about to give birth-after which the titles to the film finally are revealed.
Months later, the wife is very pregnant and on board a refugee vessel heading to India. At the beginning, a young couple is married and shortly after the wedding, war breaks out in their native Sri Lanka and the lovers are separated. The context for what was occurring was missing and I am glad I stuck with it. At first, I found myself losing interest in this film because the rather confusing style of filming really lost me. Oddly, it was 137 minutes long-slightly longer than the time listed on IMDb. Last night, I saw A PECK ON THE CHEEK (KANNATHIL MUTHAMITTAL with English subtitles).
