Life should be sweet as our asparagus and apricots, sigh the inhabitants of this Provençal backwater. But they lack a baker, and a French village without fresh bread is like an eclair without its cream.
It isn’t the only worry in the ironically named Concord, a community of the fretful middle-aged with their petty feuds and squabblesome marriages. There’s a limit to what even the flakiest croissant can do to lift it, as becomes clear when master baker Aimable (Clive Rowe) arrives with crusty loaves, glossy pastries and his young wife, Genevieve (Lucie Jones).
