The Smell of Lilac

FILM INFO

This experimental film is a metaphysical journey through memories. It is a melancholic reflection on childhood and the fragility of personal sacred places. The concept: the main character is an object, not a subject, which the audience spends 24 hours with, exploring the possibility of a script without conventional elements.
