About This Movie

The film follows a passionate baker with dreams of opening her own shop, who finds herself in a precarious situation when she agrees to pose as the girlfriend of her friend’s boss. The tension really builds as the weekend unfolds; the pacing feels authentic, capturing those awkward moments and subtle emotional shifts.
