Awarded with the Lion of the Future for the Best Debut at the Venice Film Festival. »Bread and Milk is a crude and concurrently tender film about people who are searching for warmth and love, and yet everything they do sets the odds against them.

SYNOPSIS

Ivan is dismissed a day too early from his alcoholism treatment program because of a strike by medical personnel. His first day back home passes in a pleasant atmosphere enhanced by Sonja's hope of a brighter future. The next morning Sonja sends Ivan to the store to get bread and milk, while she goes off to work as a housekeeper for a well-to-do family. On the way home, Ivan meets Armando, whom he has not seen in years. They were friends in secondary school, after which Armando left for temporary work in Switzerland. As they chat at a bar, Ivan learns that Armando once spent a night with Sonja, prior to her involvement with Ivan. Ivan is so disturbed by this that he drinks a brandy almost unawares. This introduction leads to tragic family love story.
