Lilac

May. Lilac blossom in Kyiv. Five friends and alcohol from the nearest supermarket. You need to be brave to face your fears, but you need to be even more courageous to tell about them to your closest. Looking for lilac's cinquefoil to eat for good luck.

Directed by Kateryna Gornostai, Lilac leans on a strong ensemble — Kateryna Molchanova, Viktoria Myroniuk, Lina Romanuha — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2017.
