The Milky Way
Tala (33) is a quirky musician and a newly single mother. To support her baby daughter, she is forced to take a job at the Milky Way, a repository for mother’s milk where women can pump and sell their breast milk. It’s an awkward set up, but everything could work out fine if only Tala could get out of her own way and stop getting into trouble. A chance encounter wit a wealthy woman who has been buying Tala’s milk sets her off on a surprising journey, where she will discover what it really means to be a mother.
