Lilies Not for Me

Directed by Will Seefried

A gay novelist and his psychiatric nurse connect through a series of doctor-prescribed "dates", during which he recounts a friendship that unraveled when they resorted to a risky procedure to rid themselves of their mutual feelings.
Lilies Not for Me is a restrained period drama about a gay man confronting psychiatric treatment, friendship and the violent medical attitudes once applied to homosexuality. Will Seefried approaches the history soberly, and the emotional intimacy gives the material weight beyond its institutional setting.
