Milky Way

Milky Way

In a remote mountain town, adults live a life with secrets and untold desires, while teenagers struggle to imagine a future in the big city. Highschool senior Maria, who is dreaming of becoming a dancer, finds her dream colliding with an unwanted pregnancy. This leads her to stand up against the decisions imposed on her as right and moral by her surroundings, find her own path in life, and finally claim her right to self-determination.
