(2017, Israel)

Thomas, a young and talented German baker, is having an affair with Oren, a married Israeli man who dies in an untimely car crash. Thomas travels to Jerusalem seeking answers. Keeping his own secret, he starts working for Anat, his lover's widow, who owns a small café. Consequently, his delicious cakes turn the place into a city hotspot, however his reputation is scorned by the observant Jews adhering to strictly kosher standards. Finding himself involved in Anat's life in a way far beyond his anticipation, Thomas stretches his lie to a point of no return.
