In 1600 A. D., an ancient aversion rises from its slumber. Two clans who indoctrinate the Sinhalese martial art 'Angam Pora' clash. A warrior awakens an untapped potential of his own mind, the Kundalini yoga. He is unstoppable. A little girl is destined to take the revenge on behalf of her assassinated father. The warrior travels through time. He realizes that hatred is not appeased by hatred. The girl fulfills her task. But a bond is left behind.
The story revolves around two Kandyn clans that lived during the early years of 1920. They were the masters of a form of martial arts and retained the ownership of the art as one of their clan's entities.
Very loosely based on Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, Lester James Peries's MANSION BY THE LAKE follows a family of formerly wealthy, expatriate Sri Lankan landowners, now impoverished, as they return from England to the magnificent country estate they left behind.
