The young man has fallen from the sky
The lines of communication are burned
To flee the city and its tumult, get back to nature
Enter into another story
Of the legend of the prince
In the hope of a love
To hide in the hollow of the tree
Nothing magical is improbable
What happened yesterday can reoccur tomorrow

Against a palpitating backdrop of rebellion, riot and war, this strange and irresistible Sri Lankan tale winds an unpredictable path between myth and reality, war and peace, love and madness.
A half-wild young man travels in an aimless fashion from the city, where he seems to take vicarious pleasure in the mob violence sweeping through its commercial district, only to make his way willy-nilly back home, to a village on the edge of a forest in a shimmering, verdant valley where all young men his age are hiding in the woods from some unseen mortal dread.

The serene motion and exquisite compositions of director Vimukthi Jayasundara’s camera draw us along with this deeply ambiguous, mysterious protagonist in a state of wonderment and expectation, across paradisial landscapes menaced by hellish fear and imminent violence, where nevertheless an easy, humble humor and wisdom also abide. Fate, prophesy, destiny and myth wrap themselves around the realistic and contemporary reality of civil war, as we halt by two happy fishermen relating a story about a certain banished prince, hiding in the hollow of a tree, awaiting the moment of his revenge. When our protagonist follows visions of death to the edge of a nearby lake, an older man swimming there recognizes the truth in such seeming hallucinations. “Nothing’s improbable,” he notes matter-of-factly. “What happened before may happen again.”
This confident and alluring second feature from Jayasundara (The Forsaken Land, 2005) uses a bold, beautiful, mysterious blending of realism and allegory to crack open a world turned upside down.

Li Chunfen (Zhang Jingchu) is unwaveringly loyal to her government, and always assumes that they have her best interests in mind.

From wikipedia :
Before Born (simplified Chinese: 结果; traditional Chinese: 結; pinyin: jiégǔo) is a 2006 Chinese film directed by Zhang Ming. Only Zhang’s third film in a decade, Before Born is a surreal mystery about modern Chinese life that has garnered comparisons to L’avventura, Michelangelo Antonioni’s classic 1960 film. The film tells the story of a private detective, Huang Guangliang, hired to gather evidence of an affair by a man named Li Chonggao. When he arrives in the coastal city of Beihai in search of his target, he discovers that he has disappeared and instead meets an enigmatic young woman who is also looking for Li.
