HIDDEN UNDER THE SURFACE (About the Movie)
​
In a rural village in Sri Lanka, the family well becomes poisoned by agricultural chemicals. This subsequently leads to the untimely death of Ruwansiri’s father who develops chronic kidney disease, leaving his mother works to support the family. At school, he struggles to understand his lessons in a rigid educational system that cannot go beyond rote learning. As an escape from the toxic environment around him, Ruwansiri finds solace in music. Can his passion help him overcome his circumstances?

"Dear Ananda, a stupa should be built at an intersection for the Tathagatha, the Supreme Buddha"
 "If someone offers perfumes and fragrant powder to that stupa, they will gain happiness for a long time because of these actions" 
​

"Dear Ananda, many people make their mind confident seeing the stupa thinking, ‘This is the great stupa of the Blessed, Arahant, Fully Enlightened Supreme Buddha."

 "Having made their mind confident in the stupa, after death they will be reborn in a good destination, in Heaven"

 "Dear Ananda, seeing this benefit, a stupa should be built for the Supreme Buddha and worshipped"

[The Blessed One – Maha Parinibbana Sutta DN 2]
