This tender yet unsentimental drama unfolds through the eyes of Tomas, an emotionally-distant Berlin pastry chef who is grieving the loss of his closeted Israeli lover. Unmoored by heartbreak, Tomas seeks solace in Israel and unwittingly forms a bond with his lover’s oblivious wife and son. Accompanied by a wistful piano score and dreamy cinematography, this debut film unveils a moving portrait of hidden love, challenged faith, and the journey from grief to catharsis. Best Editing – Jerusalem Film Festival Critics Prize – Miami Jewish Film Festival “This moving, broadly accessible blend of old-school melodrama, contemporary identity politics and buttery gastroporn should sell like, well, hotcakes…Most of us, it’s fair to say, have never looked quite so sexy or serene while working with yeast.” –Guy Lodge, Variety
