Rekava (Sinhala for "Line of Destiny") is a 1956 film based on village life and mythical beliefs in Sri Lanka (then Ceylon).

Rekava is Sri Lankan director Lester James Peries's first film and was Willie Blake's first time as cinematographer.

Despite its critical acclaim, Rekava was not a commercial success in Sri Lanka due to its defiance of mainstream film tropes (i.e., boy-girl romance, fighting, comedy, and Hindi-language musicals).

[2] The film starts with stilt-walker cum musician Miguel arriving in the village of Siriyala with a monkey that performs antics for the public.

The local native doctor is unable to restore it but Sena touches her eyes and miraculously Anula begins to see.
