(2023, The Netherlands, 96')

Robin gives birth to a child that, unfortunately, dies suddenly. A few days later, she starts lactating. Robin doesn’t want her milk to go to waste, and she looks into donating it. This lucidity allows her to come to terms with her mourning. Actually donating the milk proves more difficult than expected as flasks of milk bulk up her refrigerator, as well as her mind and her life.
