"The Baker's Wife is a love story set in the French town of Concorde, where the people have been without a baker for six weeks and are filled with anticipation at the arrival of master baker Aimable Castagnie. The baker and his wife arrive, but when Aimable's wife runs off with a young villager, Aimable cannot accept the truth. At first the villagers make fun of the baker's situation until his goodness forces them to open their hearts and try to help him," explain press notes.
