Drama by Peruvian director Claudia Llosa. Set in the wake of the brutal atrocities that ravaged Peru throughout the 1980s, the film tells the story of a young woman traumatised by the experiences of her mother during that period. Fausta (Magaly Solier) suffers from a condition known as 'the milk of sorrow', which is believed to be transmitted through the breastmilk of pregnant women who were raped during pregnancy. After her mother's death, Fausta takes a job as a maid for a rich family in Lima, and gradually begins to overcome her condition as she forges a tentative friendship with her employer's gardener and discovers her own singing voice.
