  • Presskitsanath 2
    Press Kit EKAMATH EKA RATEKA A faceless fantasy dipped in scheming life journeying across endless time in search of a silver screen to unfold the story of one woman and two men. Based on Emile Zola’s short story Pour une nuit d’amour (For A Night Of Love) tucked away somewhere, sometime with an undefined destiny. An extra-ordinary take ; of an ordinary life ! A film by Sanath Gunatilake Produced by Janaka Ramanayake 1 EKAMATH EKA RATEKA Synopsis : The film EKAMATH EKA RATEKA ( Once Upon a Time) is based on the story Pour une nuit d’amour written by the French novelist Emile Zola (1840-1904). The young ravishing girl from an elite family whose strong character and headstrong behaviour make her parents unhappy. They send her abroad to complete her studies hoping that it would change their daughter’s strange behaviour for the better. The young girl and the nanny’s son who becomes a lawyer later on with the help of the noble family, build a strong friendship from childhood. The parents are trying to find a suitable partner to their young daughter who has come back after completing her studies. The young girl and nanny’s son are falling in love. The nanny‘s encouragement and the blessings strengthen the young couple’s love. Meanwhile the young girl falls in love with the music played by a hideous looking middle aged man who lives in the neighborhood. Her passion for the music leads her to a magnificently melodramatic climax as this man imagines that this young girl loves him and his entire existence builds around the young girl’s love.
