A Peck on the Cheek



On Friday August 18th at 7:00 pm The Riverton Branch Library is showing "A Peck on the Cheek" winner of 6 National Film Awards.

Shyama and Dileepan are newly-weds, but when the civil war fighting in Sri Lanka takes a turn for the worse, Shyama is forced to leave as a refugee without her husband, who is reported as having been shot by rebels. Shyama has just discovered she is pregnant and in the refugee camp she gives birth to a baby girl. Nine years later in India, Amudha is told the truth of her origins by her adoptive parents Indra and Thiru. The young girl of course wants to know her real mother and finds a way of returning to the still war-torn island of Sri Lanka.
