Claudia Llosa’s sombre allegorical drama tells the story of Fausta (Magaly Solier), a fearful young Peruvian woman living in a shanty settlement outside Lima.
According to folklore, she’s suffering from the ‘milk of sorrow’, transmitted through the breast milk of her mother, who was raped during the ’80s civil war.
