Leni, a widow in her mid-fifties, runs the local bakery in a small Swiss village, together with her son. Neither of them is happy with their lot, but the bakery has been a family business for many generations, and that sort of thing is not abandoned lightly. One day, an Argentine dance teacher arrives in the village. When Leni realizes that she is gradually falling for this much younger man, her world is turned upside down. But love does not play by the rules...
