Cup Cake

Synopsis

When P J inherits his familys bakery following the disappearance of his parents, his shocking baking and business skills lead the shop into decline. Not wanting to break the promise he made to his mum and dad, with the help of his group of slightly dysfunctional friends and his foreign love interest Gala, he manages to revive Cup Cake and throw it back to its former glory. The reformation story does not go without, the odd dodgy spray tan, thanks to the towns local heavies, along with some insane robotic dancing and a couple of weddings varying in scale and colour.

Cup Cake will remind you what it is to love as well as opening your eyes to a whole new world of fashion.

Eryri, North Wales, 1780. Maggie Jenkins has spent her life caring for her dying father in isolation. When he finally dies, she sees a chance to escape the life of duty that has defined her. But then her brother Endaf, long presumed dead, returns through the snow with a wounded Algerian soldier in tow. Welcomed home as a hero, Endaf soon reveals himself to be cold, controlling and dangerous. When the village takes Maggie’s home and inheritance from her and gives them to Endaf, she is pushed to the brink. Set against the brutal winter landscape of 18th-century North Wales, LLUEST is an elemental revenge drama about a woman forced to fight for her freedom — and what happens when she finally refuses to be silenced.
