The Cake Eaters
Love is the Frosting...
Directed by Mary Stuart Masterson
Produced by The 7th Floor, Vinyl Foote Productions
A tender, melancholic family drama about grief and second chances, where love and connection emerge as people navigate loss and mortality.
The death of the Kimbrough family matriarch affects the three male survivors of the clan. Widower Easy tries to reconnect with his old flame, Marg. Eldest son and struggling musician Guy moves back to town, feeling guilty that he missed the funeral. His brother, Beagle, who was his mother's caretaker, falls for Marg's granddaughter, Georgia, a chronically ill girl who fears her time is growing short.
