Movie description:
A gifted boy from a Sri Lankan village wins a scholarship to an elite school in Colombo where he must draw upon the strength of his rural traditions to prove himself and become King Siri. Young Sirimal loves the simple pleasures of his country life – swimming, playing with his sister, walking through the misty fields to school – but his intelligence and high marks have destined him for greater things. Soon he must adjust to life among the children of the rich and powerful, from fighting the school bully to enduring the blister-inducing shoes of his uniform. When Sirimal wins the lead role of King Siri in the school play, he faces his biggest challenge yet: paying for the elaborate costume.
Sirimal, an 11-year-old son of a poor family, lives in a remote rural village. He’s very good at school and reaching the highest grades in the country, he is granted a scholarship to a very fine and prestigious school. In school, however, Sirimal has to adapt to new social and economical situations among his rich and upper class schoolmates. He is chosen to be a king in a school play and now his biggest challenge is to find the money to buy the king’s clothing. The film is poignant story of a talented boy who has to face life’s challenges. The leading role actor charms with his genuineness.
