The Milkwoman

In a small Japanese town, a middle-aged milkwoman named Minako delivers milk and tends to her customers with a quiet dedication. Meanwhile, she harbors a secret love for a man she's known since high school, who is now married and caring for his terminally ill wife. As Minako's daily routine unfolds, the film poignantly captures the loneliness and unfulfilled desires of those who feel trapped in their mundane lives. Through subtle narrative devices, the director conveys the characters' inner struggles and their yearning for something more, all while maintaining a delicate balance of hope and heartache.
