Israeli offbeat musician Tala, who is 33, just had her first baby. Desperate to make a living and support her child with no father in the picture, she takes up a job at a human milk bank. At "Milky Way," customers shop for the best milk new mothers can offer, from vegan to high protein, all with top-quality essential nutrients.
Director Maya Kenig's second full-length fiction feature, THE MILKY WAY, is a dystopian dark comedy about a first-time mother who embarks on a journey to navigate the complexities of motherhood while gaining a glimpse into the lives of the wealthy customers she supplies.
