First performance.
"The young couple Robin and Jonas go through a time of great sadness because their baby is born as a stillborn. When Robin's body begins to produce breast milk, it is a double-edged sword: the last connection with the deceased child and a constant reminder of the pain. Since Robin is unable to throw away the milk, bottles soon start piling up everywhere. After visiting a self-help group, Robin decides to donate her milk - But this turns out to be more difficult than expected... In her sensitive feature film debut, Kolk completely foregoes melodramatic effects and relies on the power of quiet moments.” (crossingeurope.at)
"Kolk portrays Robin as a "rebel who goes her own way." Frieda Barnhard skillfully captures the complexity of the role with "lightness and darkness" (Kolk) by honoring quiet moments and infusing dialogues with humor. With a minimalist visual and sound language, Melk inspires through the power of silence and space. An unusual portrayal of a farewell that awakens empathy without closing shake.” (frauenfilmfest.com)
