In this little Provencal village, a new baker, Aimable, settles down. His wife Aurelie is beautiful and much younger than he. She departs with a shepherd the night after Aimable produces his first breads. Aimable is so afflicted that he can not work anymore. Therefore, the villagers, who initially laughed at his cuckoldry, take the matter very seriously (they want the bread) and organize a plan to find Aurelie and to bring her back to the bakery.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A charming village comedy about a cuckolded baker whose personal heartbreak becomes the whole town's problem, tender and funny in equal measure, with a warm eye for how petty self-interest can accidentally look like kindness.
