Learning that the body has been brought to the local mortuary and that its identity remains a mystery, the students make a reckless decision. Driven by ambition and a curious disregard for protocol, they resolve to take the body for their dissection, believing that the absence of a known identity grants them the freedom to conduct their research without formal approval.
As the narrative progresses, the tension escalates when they finally lay the body on the surgical operating table. It is here, amidst the sterile surroundings and the undercurrent of ethical dilemmas, that one of the students experiences a startling recognition of the deceased.

What was once a scientific endeavor morphs into a personal journey of remembrance and reflection.
As events unfold, the students find themselves entangled in a series of unexpected occurrences that they had not anticipated when they took on this challenge. Mysterious developments and supernatural elements begin to manifest as they dissect the body, leading to unsettling revelations about the man's past and their own motivations. The film explores themes of identity, ethics in medical practice, and the ramifications of treating human life as mere objects for study. Amidst the chaos and revelations, the students are compelled to reevaluate their respect for life and the interconnectedness of all individuals, making "Lily" not just a thriller, but a profound exploration of the human condition.
