Burning Birds (2016) is set in 1989 Sri Lanka, amidst the turmoil of Civil War. Following the detention and killing of her spouse by a local militia, who accused him of subversive activities, Kusul is left to care for her eight children and her demanding mother-in-law. In a society dominated by men, Kusul is resolute in her mission to protect her family, taking on grueling jobs such as stone-breaking in a quarry and cleaning up in a slaughterhouse. However, her financial struggles intensify when she insists on her eldest daughter pursuing education rather than laboring in a sweatshop. Driven by desperation, Kusul turns to prostitution to make ends meet.
