When a little girl goes to buy a water bottle from a water-selling woman, she has a bad experience. So she decides to go to a well, called 'pathaha' in the jungle with her two friends. While they struggle to bring water with a cart, a big problem arises with that water-selling woman's well, from where the village people buy water. The well is banned by the government saying that 'this welt's water is not suitable for drinking'. The waterwoman tries to bribe the government officer. But it doesn't work because the officer is virtuous. In the end, the water brought by the girl and her two friends is very helpful to the villagers, because they haven't got a single drop of water to cook their milk rice to celebrate the New Year. This drama is based on the drinking water problem of the North central province in Sri Lanka. In that area the lack of drinking water is the cause of social and cultural problems. So the director wanted to contribute his artistic thought to this experience.
