Lily Was Here (original title in Dutch: De Kassière, The Cashier) is a 1989 Dutch drama film directed by Ben Verbong. One song from the film's soundtrack, performed by Candy Dulfer and Dave Stewart, was later released as a single – " Lily Was Here".
Teenager Lily works as a checkout girl at the local supermarket.
She becomes pregnant, but before the child is born, the black father of her unborn child is attacked by a gang of thugs and killed.
Following his death, she flees to the city, where she soon finds herself under the wings of a pimp, Ted.
Escaping Ted, she commences a one-woman spree of thefts, culminating in running from the police and the press.
In the end, Lily is forced to choose between freedom and her baby.
