Mātes Piens

In her conflict with the totalitarian regime, Astra, an ambitious doctor, loses literally everything: her career, her will to live, even her maternal instinct to nurse her own baby. Daughter Nora nevertheless becomes Astra’s greatest support, and in the process she learns to survive even in the repressive system of the Soviet regime. Together with her intersexual friend, Jesse, Nora helps Astra fight her depression.
