The Way of the Lotus (Devoid of Passions) (1987)
Adapted from Martin Wickramasinghe's eponymous novel
This psychological drama attempts to dwell into the mind of Aravinda, whose Buddhist empathy and detachment are contrasted with his worldly friends and relatives. The English translation of the title, "The Way of the Lotus" implies Aravinda as Lotus-rising above dirt and mud to blossom.
