Tala, a 33-year-old musician, has just had her first child. Struggling to make ends meet as a single mother, she takes a job at “Milky Way,” a dairy specializing in breast milk. It doesn’t take long for Tala to feel uncomfortable in her new role, prompting her to seek a better solution. When offered the chance to deliver her breast milk directly to a customer, she eagerly accepts. The Milky Way is a dark comedy that humorously explores the challenges and complexities of motherhood. Its vibrant and effective visual style captures the emotional highs and lows of Tala’s journey.
