The Baker

2023 · 100 min

A somber, slow-burning thriller that trades flash for quiet menace and the heavy weight of regret.

Tagline
Careful who you cross.
Overview
A quiet, stoic man, lives a monk-like existence in self-imposed exile. When his estranged son is killed in a drug deal gone bad, he is left to look after a granddaughter he never knew existed, and he is forced back into a life he tried to put behind him.
