In museums in Switzerland, Sri Lankan artist Deneth Piumakshi Veda Arachchige uncovers human remains and artefacts originating from the Indigenous Wanniyala-Aetto community. Marked by colonial violence, these objects were stolen in the early twentieth century by Swiss naturalists. The film interrogates the origins of museum collections, the legitimacy of their continued preservation, the transmission of cultural heritage, and the possibilities for reparation.
