Event
The Cakemaker
Thomas, a talented German baker, is having an affair with Oren, an Israeli married man who has frequent business visits in Berlin.
When Oren dies in a car crash in Israel, Thomas travels to Jerusalem seeking answers regarding his death.
Thomas finds Anat, Oren’s widow and insinuates himself into her life – and her restaurant.
The encounter with the unfamiliar reality will make Thomas become involved in Anat’s life in a way far beyond his anticipation. To protect the truth he will stretch his lie to a point of no return.
"The film binds its narrative to fascinating explorations of national identity, sexuality, and, of course, food."
"...an affecting story about love, loss and pastry."
"this provocative, unexpected and finally very moving work is as unusual a love story as you are likely to find."
