The Milk of Sorrow

“The Milk of Sorrow,” directed by Claudia Llosa, follows the story of Fausta, a young woman in Peru who suffers from a rare condition believed to be transmitted through her mother’s breast milk, a result of the trauma experienced during the country’s violent past. As Fausta navigates her fears and the challenges of her life, she embarks on a journey of healing and self-discovery amidst a backdrop of cultural and familial expectations.
