Sweet Like Lemons is a visual reflection on getting out of a harmful relationship and moving on. The title is a play on the saying “when life gives you lemons make lemonade”, only in this case there is no lemonade to be made but the lemons still taste sweeter than the relationship you got out of. Rather than traditional narrative, the movie uses surreal and symbolic language (both figurative and through colour) to visualize the complex emotions that the protagonist goes through.
