Lavender Plot Summary

What happens in Lavender from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 13 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Athena Kelly Chen runs a small aroma-therapy studio and scent shop in the city, and while her hands move confidently through essential oils and blends, her heart feels heavy with loneliness after the death of her boyfriend Andrew. Her days follow a quiet, almost ritual rhythm: she purchases a helium balloon each morning, scribbles a note on it, and releases it to the open sky, hoping the message will somehow find Andrew and mend the hollow space his absence has left behind. The act is a gentle, wistful alarm bell that nothing in her routine has truly filled the void inside her.
