The Cakemaker (Hebrew: האופה מברלין, romanized: haOfeh miBerlin; German: Der Kuchenmacher) is a 2017 romantic drama film directed by Ofir Raul Grazier.

[8] Thomas, a young, solitary German baker, is having an affair with a married Israeli man named Oren, who frequently visits Berlin on business.

Anat finds a shopping list written in German among Oren's personal effects, including the name of the Berlin cafe where Thomas works.

Anat tells Thomas that Oren told her he was having an affair, and planned on leaving her and their son in Jerusalem to start a new life in Berlin.

The site's critics consensus reads, "The Cakemaker explores all-consuming emotion with beguiling restraint, adding up to a delicately understated character study fueled by the power of love.

"[12] Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times wrote: "Like a patient baker, filmmaker Grazier sees no reason to rush what happens between Thomas and Anat, and these two become key parts of each other's lives so gradually, the acting and directing are so precisely right, that we believe what transpires.

"[13] The New York Times' critic Jeannette Catsoulis wrote: "Sad and sweet, and with a rare lyricism, The Cakemaker believes in a love that neither nationality, sexual orientation nor religious belief can deter.

He wrote: "Watching it, the film's intelligent, well-crafted story and beautifully drawn characters seem to suggest literary roots.

But, examine those virtues more closely and it becomes evident that here they're owed to a form of storytelling that's essentially cinematic, one that depends on a quality that distinguishes this film throughout: its extraordinary delicacy and restraint.

"[15] Walter Addiego from the San Francisco Chronicle states that "Grazier takes his time and never feels the need to spell everything out, and The Cakemaker is a testament to what filmmakers can achieve when they trust the audience.
