Lilies Not For Me | QFFM

In the organizer's words:

A hospital, somewhere in England in the 1920s. White walls, white coats, white lilies. And in between: Owen.

With almost painful tenderness, Will Seefried's debut film tells the story of a young man who gets caught up in the machinery of so-called conversion therapy. The images are elegant, almost too beautiful - and that is precisely why they are so brutal. In Owen's memories, in flashbacks and fantasies, a love is revealed that should never have been called sick. "Lilies Not for Me" is not a loud outcry, but a quiet, persistent whisper - a film that takes the time to look closely and keep the stories alive
