Reading the title, you might think this is a documentary about the galaxy, the solar system and our earth’s relationship to it, or a remake of “The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy”.

Instead, “Milky Way” is the name of a futuristic company where the protagonist, 33-year-old single mother Tala, picks up a job as her music career doesn’t pay the bills for her newborn and herself. Soon, Tala finds it hard to sell the company her breast milk. She can’t stand it anymore and surprisingly is offered an alternative way to provide her precious product directly to one customer. She takes this chance.

This highly intelligent dramedy tackles many important issues of motherhood and social class in a most entertaining way. Director Maya Kenig, supported by a great cast and art department, proves that she is a talent to watch.
