Friday Foreign Film Series: Sweet Bean (Japan)

Directed by Naomi Kawase, this movie tells of an endearing story about a struggling baker who hires a 76 year old woman and was pleasantly surprised how her skill and love for making dorayaki pastry (a specialty in Japan) helps his business thrive. (Japanese with English subtitles; 113 minutes; Rated PG)
