Hot Milk

The directorial debut from award-winning screenwriter Rebecca Lenkiewicz (Ida, Disobedience), HOT MILK is an intimate exploration of self-discovery, desire, and the complex bonds that shape us.

Set against the sun-drenched Spanish coast, a young woman discovers that the people in her life - her ailing mother, and a mysterious lover - may not be exactly who she thought they were. Secrets, lies, and revelations lead her to doors that might be best left unopened.

Based on the acclaimed novel by Deborah Levy and featuring compelling performances from Emma Mackey, Fiona Shaw and Vicky Krieps, this is a vivid and evocative look at liberation and longing.

"Rarely has maternal trauma been so well-dramatised on the big screen with zest, humour, and genuine appreciation of the ambivalence baked into these relationships." Savina Petkova, The Film Stage
