Plot:
A sexy thriller in the tradition of La Femme Nikita (1990), 'Lily Was Here' tells of a young woman's dangerous descent into crime, and her courageous escape to a better life. Fiercerly determined to protect her unborn baby, 17-year old Lily runs away from home and her narrow-minded parents. But life in the big city is expensive and dangerous, and Lily is coerced into prostitution. Desperate to escape, she commits a string of petty thefts that escalates into a daring crime wave. Hunted by the police and hounded by the press, Lily becomes the object of a massive womanhunt that forces her to choose between freedom and motherhood. Shocking and unforgettable, 'Lily Was Here' is an outlaw odyssey that takes you where few movies dare to go.
