The Baker's Son (2021)

The picturesque town of Windward, nestled on a secluded island in Puget Sound, struggles under the weight of an economic downturn. The repercussion is felt keenly among family businesses, particularly McBride's Diner and Duval Boulangerie, run by childhood best friends Annie McBride and Matt Duval. Annie, a Paris-educated painter, only returned to her hometown to take over the diner after her father's untimely demise, while Matt, never one for serious relationships, is known for his average yet reliable bread-making abilities. The town's fortunes take an intriguing turn when the affluent Kathryn Dean brings the famed Philip Chandler Ballet Company from Seattle to Windward for rehearsals. The island is soon abuzz with new faces, including Philip, who is smitten by Annie, and Nicole, the troupe's lead dancer, who captures Matt's attention. This unexpected romantic entanglement sparks a transformation in Matt. His bread, once unremarkable, becomes extraordinary, leading his father, Jean Pierre Duval, to believe that love is the secret ingredient enhancing his son's baking skills. Matt's enchanting bread revives the dwindling tourist flow, breathing life back into Windward's economy. However, the fleeting nature of Matt's romance with Nicole, a visitor from a different world, threatens to end the town's newfound prosperity. The townsfolk, aware of the economic implications, find themselves in a delicate predicament – they must keep Matt's romantic passion alive. As the story unfolds, it becomes evident that the oblivious Matt and Annie harbor deep-seated feelings for each other. The challenge lies in making them realize their love, not just for their happiness, but for the survival of their cherished town. In a heartwarming tale of love, friendship, and a hint of magical realism, the future of Windward hinges on the uncertain romance between a baker and his childhood friend, and the extraordinary bread that their love inspires.
