The Cakemaker (2017) rating: 8/10

Taking place in Berlin and Jerusalem, the movie finds the protagonist silently grieving his lover who was killed in an accident. He is a baker that runs his own shop and seems to love what he does.
He strangely wants to see and even get to know this family of his lover that he was sharing time with. This tricky part of the story is deftly handled.
The lead actor does a great job with the somewhat introverted role displaying many emotions on his face while the protagonist is alone, but concealing them completely or partially otherwise. Overall well done with a fine music score also.
