There is politics of the personal and the country. Rewind to the situation in Sri Lanka when the economic crisis hit, and citizens were out on the street agitating and demanding some semblance of 'normalcy'. Lankan filmmaker Prasanna Vithanage's International film 'Paradise', which won the Kim Jiseok Award for Best Film at the Busan International Film Festival 2023 where it recently had its World Premiere, revolves around a tourist couple from India who are in the island nation at that time and explores their struggles with societal, personal, and internal challenges.
