Synopsis

The Milk of Sorrow is a Peruvian film that tells the story of Fausta, a young woman who suffers from a rare condition called "the milk of sorrow." This condition is passed down from her mother, who was a victim of sexual violence during the years of terrorism in Peru.

As a result of this trauma, Fausta believes that she has a potato lodged in her vagina to protect her from rape. She works as a maid for a wealthy family in Lima, where she meets a musician named Noé who helps her confront her past and heal from her trauma.

The Milk of Sorrow explores themes of intergenerational trauma, healing, and the power of music to connect people. The film won the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2009 and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
