Acting
Follows the story of a struggling young woman who pretends to be the wife of a missing soldier to claim compensation money for going abroad, only for the soldier to return alive.
Very loosely based on Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, Lester James Peries's MANSION BY THE LAKE follows a family of formerly wealthy, expatriate Sri Lankan landowners, now impoverished, as they return from England to the magnificent country estate they left behind.
