The sharp yet warm humour of Mother and Milk exposes the mental strain on new mothers by depicting the challenges as exaggerated catastrophes.



Ami Lindholm is on a mission to make tired parents laugh! She encourages parents to be imperfect and say that you are good enough as you are. Her comic Vauvakirja - Baby Book and short film Mother and Milk show the best and worst moments in parenting – in a hilarious yet touching way. Ami enjoys creating big moments with a simple visual style. With her art, she always wants to encourage and give hope, however dark the situation might be.
