Synopsis: Fausta (Magaly Solier) suffers from “The Milk of Sorrow”, an illness transmitted through mother’s milk by women who’ve been raped during Peru’s Civil Wars. Stricken with the fear that she’s contracted the illness from her mother’s breast milk — Fausta goes to extreme lengths to protect her own sexuality and safety. After her mother’s sudden death, she finds herself compelled to embark on a frightening journey for re-awakening, freedom and wholeness.

Synopsis: A young hairdresser (Héctor Medina) does makeup for a troupe of drag performers in Havana, but dreams of being a performer. When he finally gets his chance to be on stage, a stranger emerges from the crowd and punches him in the face. The stranger is his father (Jorge Perugorría), a former boxer, who has been absent from his life for 15 years. As estranged father and son clash over their opposing expectations of each other, Viva becomes a love story as the men struggle to understand one another and become a family again. - Written by aGLIFF
