Cake - Short Film
"CAKE" is a multilingual short film that follows the story of Zuzana and her friends as they come together for her birthday dinner. As the group, who speak a mix of Slovak, Polish, Italian, German, Spanish, and Greek, discusses religion, pedophilia in the church, and homosexuality, tensions rise and Zuzana, a devout catholic, finds herself offended by the conversation.
Just as things seem to be reaching a boiling point, Zuzana's brother Bartek announces that he is gay, causing a sudden shift in the atmosphere. Zuzana struggles to accept her brother's confession and their relationship becomes strained.
As the party disbands, Zuzana is left alone to confront her feelings and beliefs.
"CAKE" is a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of faith, identity, and acceptance in a multilingual setting.
