San Francisco Bay pastry empress Meg Ray’s love affair with the magical Café Truten on Sweden’s remote Baltic Sea island of Rödlöga. “Life is what you bake!”

In this multiple award-winning feature length documentary, Meg Ray, owner of the beloved San Francisco Miette pastry empire, embarks on an epic adventure to help save a magical café and bakery located on the remote Swedish archipelago island of Rödlöga. A four-hour boat ride from Stockholm, far out in the middle of the Baltic Sea, many lessons lay in store for Meg in this irresistible “live, bake, love” story about community, the magical alchemy of sourdough and the rediscovery of lost joys.

With no running water or electricity, and only seven days to open the café before the Swedish holiday of Midsummer, Meg and her teenage staff are pushed to their limits. Will they be able to overcome the effects of winter to open the bakery in time?

The film will be introduced by Katri Sander, Digital Marketing Specialist at Bekker Bakery.
