Canary Season follows Lily, a young woman in 1960s Bulgaria whose life unravels after a brief affair leaves her pregnant and abandoned. Struggling to raise her son alone, she’s further shattered when the authoritarian state sends her to a labor camp and later a psychiatric institution. Years later, her grown son discovers the truth about her suffering, forcing him to confront his own identity and the cost of her silence. The film traces a family marked by love, stigma, and the lasting wounds of political repression.
