Still from "Hot Milk"

Desire, control, and queer awakening simmer under the Spanish sun in this dreamy adaptation of Deborah Levy’s acclaimed novel.

A sultry breeze is set to sweep through queer cinema this summer after the release of a new trailer for Hot Milk. Helmed by Disobedience screenwriter Rebecca Lenkiewicz in her directorial debut, Hot Milk adapts Deborah Levy’s acclaimed novel into a heady blend of psychological drama, sun-drenched longing, and intimate queer awakening.

Set on the shimmering coast of Spain, the film stars Emma Mackey as Sofia, a young woman unraveling under the weight of a controlling mother and the magnetic pull of Ingrid, played by the enigmatic Vicky Krieps. With its dreamlike cinematography, simmering emotional undercurrents, and a central queer romance we’re already rooting for, Hot Milk has the potential to become a defining sapphic story of the year.
