The Baker of Rue des Lilas

In a quiet corner of Lyon, France, an elderly Vietnamese baker named Monsieur Le has run a small boulangerie on Rue des Lilas for 40 years. Every morning at 4 AM, he bakes the same baguettes and croissants his late French wife taught him. But the city is changing — a sleek chain bakery opens across the street, and his loyal customers dwindle. Facing the loss of his lifes work, an unexpected friendship with an 8-year-old Syrian refugee girl who calls him Papi Pain reignites his sense of purpose. Together they discover that belonging is not about where you come from, but who chooses to stay.
