Two Months

Two Months


Synposis
Pathum, a young educated man from the city, works as a teacher in an impoverished village school in rural Sri Lanka. Pathum is in charge of 5th grade students, who are expected to sit for the scholarship exam in two months' time.
As the story begins, Pathum is highly disturbed and tormented by the thoughts inside his head. For unexplained reasons, he seems to be motivated by the strong belief that a heinous crime is taking place within the school. As he is certain of what he believes and desperate to punish the perpetrator, Pathum embarks on a risky venture to somehow prove his suspicions.
Pathun soon realizes that the situation is more complicated and the stakes are much higher
