A couple walks precariously on a railway track as it ploughs through the lush green fields of northeastern Sri Lanka. It’s an old childhood stunt in these parts - trying to walk as far as possible on winding railway tracks without losing balance.
But this couple has developed an ingenious way to stay on track. As the camera zooms out, the audience can see they’re cheating. The couple – a young village girl and a soldier - keep steady by clutching the two ends of a rifle across the track.
