Lester James Peries – Nidhanaya AKA The Treasure (1972)

Quote:
Willie discovers in a manuscript that a treasure lies buried in a rock and that whoever is prepared to make a human sacrifice will see the rock open up and reveal its treasure. Willie locates the rock, but the victim (who must be a young girl) is nowhere to be found. Then, one day, when he least expected it, a girl stands before him, resplendent… Ironically, he falls deeply in love with her.

Quote:
A marvellously accomplished work, with a fascinating story. A man sits writing his last confession, contemplating suicide. His obsession has been to find a great treasure. Only after murdering a young girl does he realise that she is the treasure he has been seeking. This complex morality tale is a moving love story interwoven with a characteristic examination of superstition, the caste system, and the frailty of human feelings.
