Set in 1989, a few months before the fall of Nicolae Ceaușescu’s dictatorship in Romania, Milk Teeth follows Maria, a ten-year-old girl, who is the last witness to her sister’s sudden disappearance. Torn apart by loss, she must find the strength to confront grief, fear and the powerlessness of her desperate parents.

« The real strength of Milk Teeth stems from its heartfelt performances and the tenderness of its direction, together with its historical relevance, all woven together with a touching personal story. » (Cineuropa)

« It’s a coming-of-age story where the actual coming of age is fundamentally broken, as the young protagonist grows up at the dawn of a new world she will never fully appreciate, as she is still hopelessly, sometimes helplessly, tethered to the old one. » (The Film Verdict)
