A new film adaptation of Deborah Levy's novel, Hot Milk, portrays the strained relationship between mother Rose and daughter Sofia during a trip to a Spanish coastal town to address Rose's mystery illness. Sofia longs for freedom from her controlling mother while exploring a romance with seamstress Ingrid. Tensions are evident in their interactions, reflecting deeper issues as their bond deteriorates. Director Rebecca Lenkiewicz notes the strong chemistry between the lead actresses, enhancing the authenticity of their portrayal of a mother-daughter dynamic.
"Sort of digital horror, he had. With lights... I sort of fell in love with the way his hair fell," Rose says, before adding: "You have different hair."
The relationship between Sofia and her irascible mother is clearly fractured as the two bask in the intense Spanish heat.
They really connected and were kind of thrown in together. I think both of them had such brilliant takes on their own character that they were instantly mother and daughter."
You'd see them around set with Emma negotiating little bumps. It was sort of moving and very authentic.
