MILK FEVER

Portrait

A student delivers milk in a Socialist prefab high-rise settlement. He suffers from lack of sleep and bad dreams brought on by the unrelenting routine of school and working on the side. One day, a newspaper article about a young couple that murdered an old woman for fear of never having their own space, an odd observation and an obituary all come together to form a terrible suspicion in his mind. In this balancing act between silly comedy and tense thriller, Machulski chronicles the adventures of a milkman.
