The "Tradition" contains a story of a young bride who remembers her painful past and reflects the inner dilemma of contemporary women who struggle to survive in a male dominated society. The movie is graced with exceptional cast including Irangani Serasinghe, Kalum Gamlath, Sameera Lakmal, Nilanka Dahanayaka, Arunod Wijesinha, Kalana Jayanath, Anjana Premarathna and Rajeev Ananda.
