Based on the book we now have the film adaptation with the arrival of the Hot Milk trailer with BAFTA nominated Fiona Shaw and BAFTA winning Emma Mackey.
Set in the scorching heat of a Spanish summer, Sofia (Emma Mackey) and her ailing mother, Rose (Fiona Shaw), travel to the seaside town of Almería to seek the help of Dr. Gómez (Vincent Perez), an enigmatic healer who may hold the key to Rose’s mysterious illness. As long-buried tensions simmer between them, Sofia finds herself drawn to the magnetic and free-spirited Ingrid (Vicky Krieps). But as the sun beats down, Sofia’s growing independence and search for freedom become too much for her controlling mother, forcing her to question the true nature of Rose’s illness. Secrets, lies, and revelations emerge, leading Sofia to doors that might be best left unopened.
Co-starring are Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread, Corsage), Vincent Perez (Alone in Berlin, Boléro), Yann Gael (Gladiator II, 1899) and Patsy Ferran (Mickey 17, Firebrand). Based on Deborah Levy’s Booker Prize and Goldsmiths Prize short-listed novel of the same name, Hot Milk received its World Premiere in Competition at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival.
HOT MILK WILL BE IN CINEMAS IN THE UK AND IRELAND ON 4th JULY 2025
