The Milk of Sorrow	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Milk of Sorrow is a 2009 film from Peru, directed by Claudia Llosa.The film opens with an old woman, Perpetua, singing a folk song—about how she was gang-raped by terrorists, and force-fed her murdered husband's penis, when she was pregnant. (This is a reference to the 1980-92 war between the Peruvian government and the Shining Path.). Perpetua, having warbled this cheery ditty, promptly dies.The focus then shifts to Perpetua's daughter, Fausta, who was gestating in her mother's womb when Perpetua was gang-raped. Twenty years of listening to her mother's horror stories have left Fausta a prisoner of fear. While not The Shut-In she doesn't particularly like to go outside, and she's mortally afraid of men, convinced that she may be raped and murdered at any moment. She has gone so far as to put a potato in her vagina, that's right, a potato in her vagina, as a deterrent against would-be rapists.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })But Fausta has to get a job, because she has no money to bury her mother. So she takes a job as a domestic servant to Aida, a singer and apparently the richest person in town.

The Milk of Sorrow / int_222dc873	comment	Black Comedy: At Maxima's wedding someone peels a potato, and says that the long, narrow peel is proof that Maxima and her husband will have a long and happy marriage. This while, unbeknownst to most of the wedding crowd, Fausta has a potato stuffed up her private area. Later, the scent that Fausta and her potato are giving off leads a dog to follow her home, sniffing at her crotch the whole way.

The Milk of Sorrow / int_504a1991	comment	Body Horror: Fausta has a potato in her vagina. And it is growing. In a couple of scenes she is shown cutting off sprouts. The potato is, unsurprisingly, making her physically ill. She visits a doctor but she is so terrified of being raped that she can't bring herself to remove the potato.
