Breaking Breast

Breaking Breast is a bold and tender story of loss, growth, and the reckless pursuit of dreams. At its heart are MEXA—a sharp-witted single mum, part-time performer, and full-time mischief-maker—and her formidable yet fragile mother, JUNE. Years of estrangement have kept them apart, but when crisis strikes, they are thrust back into each other’s lives under the same roof. What begins as uneasy cohabitation becomes a fierce, often hilarious battle for survival—not just from what threatens the body, but what haunts the soul. Secrets stir. Roles shift. And somewhere in the mess of illness, art, motherhood, and memory, a new path begins to form. Inspired by true events, Breaking Breast is part coming-of-age, part survival saga. It’s a raw and defiantly human journey through modern womanhood, aging, forgiveness, and the tangled threads of love that hold families together. In a world more connected than ever yet starved of real connection, this story dares to ask: What does it take to truly come home to yourself?
