La teta asustada

Peru

Claudia Llosa

Fausta is ill with a disease contracted from her mother's breast milk known as «The milk of sorrow». However, this is not a sickness caused by bacteria or infection: it is a condition that only affects those women in Peru who were abused or raped during the years of terrorist struggle. Although this horrific period is now history, Fausta is nonetheless a living reminder of this time. Her sickness is called fear - and it has robbed her of her soul. When her mother suddenly dies, Fausta is forced to face her fears. The overpowering nature of these fears, and the desperate lengths to which Fausta will go to assuage them is revealed by her biggest secret. Fausta sets out on a journey that will lead her out of her fear and into freedom.
