Plot

Two cousins, raised as sisters, set out to save the family bakery. The owner, their aunt, dies suddenly and unexpectedly. A banker is trying to foreclose on bakery, but is prevented from doing so when it's declared a heritage site. The cousins succeed in saving the bakery. (In a completely, seemingly unrelated side plot, an old couple tries to kill Daniella and Ian with poisoned tea.) The movie ends with Vivien and Paul kissing by a tree in a square in Valencia.
