From the producers of Call Me By Your Namecomes a new gay period drama – and you can now watch an exclusive clip from the film.
Lillies Not For Mefollows the story of Owen James. "In 1920s England, a gay novelist and his psychiatric nurse form an unlikely friendship over a series of doctor-prescribed ‘dates,'" the official description reads. "Through their conversations, he tells her the story of his relationship with an old friend which spiraled out of control when they turned to a risky procedure to cure themselves of their forbidden feelings for one another."
In a new clip shared with PRIDE, tensions rise as Owen and an old friend Philip's playful wrestling starts to feel more sensual than platonic...
Finn O'Shea stars in the film as Owen alongside Robert Aramayo, Erin Kellyman, Jodi Balfour, and Louis Hofmann.
Lillies Not For Me waswritten and directed by Will Seefried. Hannes Otto, Roelof Storm, Will Seefried, Naïma Abed, and Emilie Georges produced the film. The latter two worked as producers on the 2017 Oscar-nominated film Call Me By Your Name.
“The film confronts some dark parts of our history in order to shine a light on the incredible resilience that is the hallmark of our community," Seefriend tells PRIDE in a statement. "This was true a hundred years ago, when the film is set, and remains true today. Our superpower as queer people is in our ability to love, even when the world tells us not to.”
Lillies Not For Me premieres April 4 on Video on Demand. Watch the official trailer below.
