Etero, a 48-year-old woman living in a small village in Georgia, has chosen to remain unmarried. She cherishes her freedom, as much as her cakes. Her choice to live alone is often the cause of gossip among her fellow villagers. Unexpectedly, she finds herself falling into a passion with a man and is suddenly faced with the decision of whether to pursue the traditional route of coupling or continue to pursue a life of independence. Etero must grapple with her newfound feelings and decide how to find her own path to happiness.

It’s a film which tells us what most films contrive to ignore: love and sex is not just for the lovely and the sexy and the young. This is a gentle, sensual gem of a film. Go to Full Review David Parkinson Radio Times Feb 13

Jon T 05/28/2024 It’s often the small, quiet films which amongst the best. A film about many things- life in a small village, how the past determines our present, chance, ordinariness, beauty and even cake. It takes it’s time and will on the whole appeal to older people and anyone with a heart. See more Read all reviews
