Navigating the weight of a fractured family, the scars of a war-torn country, and the emotional toll of a life lived in exile, Hanna must confront a past she has spent years trying to escape. Lilacs is a quietly powerful portrait of longing, loss, and the enduring pull of unfinished family histories.
