The Storm

The Storm is a Sri Lankan drama that examines the hardships faced by an honest politician and his relatives. The story contrasts the benefits the family enjoyed during their time in power with the trauma and adversity that follow a devastating electoral defeat. Through this conflict, the film suggests that integrity can be a liability in the political sphere and that those in power often end up as losers.
