Lilac Time is the story of Ida, an elderly Austrian woman, who has made England her home for the past 60 years.
Following a fall, Ida is less able to look after herself and her family arrange for her to move into a care home, where suppressed memories of her life in Vienna during the war start to dominate her thoughts.
Ida's emerging story begins to impact on her three grown-up children in different ways, but it is Anna, the younger daughter and the most attentive to her mother, who encourages her to speak about her life as a young wife and mother in Austria.
As Anna begins to unravel the events of the past, she takes a trip to Vienna in an attempt to discover what happened to her mother during the darkest days of Nazi occupation.
The whole family is stunned by Ida's final revelation..
