MILCHZÄHNE (AT)

Writer-director Sophia Bösch, who won the German Short Film Award with Rå (Berlinale 2018), has completed shooting of her debut feature MILK TEETH – a modern fairytale about motherhood and belonging. Edith arrives as a for­eigner in a hostile environment and builds a life for herself and her daughter Skalde against all resistance. But Skalde increasingly distances herself from her mother, seeking to become part of the community. It is only when she discovers a foreign child, Meisis, in the woods and starts car­ing for her that she realises she has to reconnect with Edith to protect the child.
