Milk of Dreams

Two women, a mother and her young adult daughter, inhabit a timeless world on a 
small rural farm where they share in daily work and rituals. Between farm chores, 
brushing each other’s hair at night and sharing a bed, the potency of their glances 
suggests an undercurrent of change that will deliver the daughter onto her own. The 
presence of a stranger at the dinner table marks a shift in the closeness of the 
mother and daughter. The daughter grapples with feeling herself outside, sitting 
unnoticed between the lovers’ gaze. She finds herself shut out from the bedroom 
that she is used to sharing with her mother. The mother dreams the touch of the 
stranger. The touch is transferred onto the daughter. Awakening to a surge of sexual 
curiosity, the daughter re-enters the world according to herself.
