Desperate to support her first baby with no father in the picture, offbeat musician Tala (Real-life musician and actress Hila Ruach) takes up a job at the “Milky Way.” This breast milk dairy provides the best that new mothers can offer: vegan, high-protein, top-quality, nutrient-rich milk. In this dystopian dark comedy, Tala embarks on a journey navigating the complexities of motherhood, while sneaking a glimpse into the wealthy lives she is supplying.
