Greenwich Entertainment Nabs Israeli Film ‘The Milky Way’ for North America (EXCLUSIVE)
"The Milky Way,' which stars singer Hila Ruach and 'Shtisel' actor Hadas Yaron, has been acquired by Greenwich Entertainment for North America.
It tells the story of Tala, a 33-year old struggling bohemian musician and recent single mother who takes a job at “The Milky Way” – a breast milk dairy aimed at wealthy families. “Maya Kenig found in the commodification of breast milk a perfect metaphor for a wildly inventive social class comedy but whose light touch and sparkling cast never allows the tone to turn sour,” said Greenwich’s co-president Edward Arentz, who negotiated the deal with Samuel Blanc from The Party on behalf of the filmmakers. Kenig, who is also a well-known editor, previously directed “Off White Lies” which played the Berlinale’s Generation14plus and revolves around a relationship between a father and his daughter, set against the backdrop of the 2006 war between Israel and Lebanon.
