A devoted medical intern is pulled into the chaos of a dysfunctional family after meeting a reclusive artist, uncovering deep wounds of mental illness, grief, and isolation seeking healing where science alone falls short.
SYNOPSIS:
L.I.L.I.T.H. follows Lilith, a bright and determined young psychology student working as a medical intern on an ambulance crew. During a routine house call, she encounters Julia, a flamboyant former opera singer suffering from delusions, and her reclusive adult son, Albert—a gifted artist living in near-silence under the shadow of a mysterious past. As Lilith navigates the household's erratic dynamics and emotional volatility, she connects with Albert in an unexpected moment of clarity, sparking a fragile bond between two wounded souls.
Set against the backdrop of mental illness—ranging from depression and delusional disorder to neurodevelopmental conditions—the story sensitively explores the delicate intersection between care and connection, therapy and trust. Lilith’s journey, both clinical and deeply personal, reveals how empathy can bridge even the most fractured minds and families. As she sorts through Albert’s drawings, one in particular—a haunting acrostic poem spelling her name—unlocks a quiet emotional truth that leaves her forever changed.
