Anantha Rathriya (Dark Night of the Soul) is a 1996 Sri Lankan drama film directed by Prasanna Vithanage.

Suwisal recalls brief memories of the piano and a young girl shyly peering out behind the drapes at him and his aunts.

Several days earlier, Suwisal's fiancée (Yashoda Wimaladharma) calls to remind him of jury duty.

Decades before, a young Suwisal goes back to the village and ancestral home to work on his thesis called, "The Possible Result of Disillusioned Rural Youth and the Impact of the Free Education Policy".

During the second day of the trial, Suwisal goes to his lawyer friend Vicky (Tony Ranasinghe)[2] and explains that he knows Piyum.
