Join award-winning director Rebecca Lenkiewicz and producer Christine Langhan for a special preview and post-screening Q&A of this remarkable directorial debut, ahead of the MUBI general release.
Set in the scorching heat of a Spanish summer, Sofia (Emma Mackey, Emily, Sex Education) and her ailing mother, Rose (Fiona Shaw, Killing Eve), travel to the seaside town of Almería to seek the help of Dr. Gómez (Vincent Perez), an enigmatic healer who may hold the key to Rose’s mysterious illness.
As long-buried tensions simmer between them, Sofia finds herself drawn to the magnetic and free-spirited Ingrid (Vicky Krieps, Phantom Thread). But as the sun beats down, Sofia’s growing independence and search for freedom become too much for her controlling mother, forcing her to question the true nature of Rose’s illness.
Secrets, lies, and revelations emerge, leading Sofia to doors that might be best left unopened. Featuring layered and compelling performances from the central cast, Hot Milk is a vivid and evocative look at liberation and longing.
