Found a movie recently on Netflix (https://www.menemshafilms.com/dough and https://www.netflix.com/title/80065909) and thought I would pass it on. It’s based on the intersecting lives of a nearly retired Jewish baker in London, and the young adult Muslim newcomer he hires to help out when facing a staffing shortage. The owner is shocked to see business booming, only to later discover that his staff person (first by accident, then intentionally), has been adding small amounts of marajuana to every batch of dough, resulting in very happy customers, who have no idea what they are actually consuming.
Fairly predictable in many ways, leading clearly to a happy ending, with a bit of a low budget feel, it will not win awards for the best movie ever made. However, I still think that the world needs more happy endings to counter the negativity that is so dominant in some politics and other sectors lately. This is a nice way to spend a couple of hours, on a day when you are looking for something positive with a few laughs. 🙂
