A girl is forced into a loveless marriage by her family.

An adaptation of Martin Wickremasinghe's seminal Sinhala novel, the story revolves around Nanda (Punya Heendeniya) and Piyal (Henry Jayasena), whose affair is complicated due to their class differences. Nanda's family, with an aristocratic lineage, is against their daughter seeing Piyal, a middle-class teacher. Nanda is forced to marry Jinadasa (Gamini Fonseka), and Piyal leaves for the city. But following Jinadasa's death, Piyal comes back into Nanda's life, reigniting old flames.—Thivanka Rukshan Perera
