Appreciate the art of cinema? Join us in watching and discussing a foreign film led by Geneva's International Cultural Exchange Committee members. This month's selection is The Cakemaker (Israel). Released in 2017. Running time 1hr 45min. Not rated. The Cakemaker was the official submission of Israel for Best Foreign Language Film at the 91st Academy Awards in 2019.
Thomas, a young and talented German baker, is having an affair with Oren, an Israeli-married man who dies in a car crash. Thomas travels to Jerusalem seeking answers. Keeping his secret to himself, he starts working for Anat, his lover's widow, who owns a small café. Although not fully kosher and despised by the religious, his delicious cakes turn the place into a city attraction. Finding himself involved in Anat's life in a way far beyond his anticipation, Thomas will stretch his lie to the point of no return.
