Our Own Ceylon - Not tourists. Just humans, learning to see
Curiosity becomes empathy in this reflective travel documentary following a couple determined to experience Sri Lanka not as distant observers but as respectful guests.
Immersed in the rhythms of everyday life, they avoid exoticism and instead witness the beauty of coexistence, proximity, and difference. From bustling streets to sacred rituals, every moment builds a bridge between cultures—and challenges the boundaries of what it means to truly understand another way of life.
