“Be anything but a baker” became the echoing advice that defined John II’s upbringing. Raised in a tight-knit Italian American family he was well aware, by age 7, of the leading role he would fill in the generational business that his grandfather built in 1923. Embracing the part, he’s anxious to carry the torch until, in an instant, life changes. As John II grapples with the legacy of his family’s bakery which is now the cornerstone of their community, and the unspoken dreams that will shape his life, the young man discovers one of the greatest secrets in life, transcending far beyond the flour-dusted countertops and aroma of freshly baked bread. Directed by Michael Matthews.
