Peach Milk

What happens when the birthday you keep for someone who never comes is finally witnessed?

Every year, Mara sets the table: a cake, a candle, and a glass of peach milk for the child she left behind. It’s the ritual that keeps her alive and the wound that never heals. When that child finally returns, not as a guest but with a camera, the past collides with the present in a story of love, regret, and resilience. Peach Milk is our final-year AUT short film - raw, lyrical, and unforgettable. If this stirs you, help us pour the next glass and press “record.”  With your support, we can bring this haunting vision to the screen and give voice to a story too rarely told.
