Nalini Perera

Nalini Perera has spent decades in the serene but weathered hills of Nuwara Eliya, running a guesthouse that once buzzed with the warmth of her late husband's presence. Now, she balances her days between the certainty of dental care at the local clinic and the textured silence of the guesthouse. Her life is a careful orchestration of routines that provide comfort and order in the face of life's unpredictability, with a persistent awareness of both silence and decay.
