Synopsis "Nothing Says Lovin'"

Set against the tense backdrop of October 1962 and the Cuban Missile Crisis, Nothing Says Lovin' tells the heartwarming and eccentric story of Opal Dee Garrett, a quiet widow who runs a bakery in the small town of Sweetgum, Alabama. Famous for her legendary "Thursday Pie", Opal Dee's life is upended when a long-lost entry blank for the 1951 Golden Sifter National Bake-Off—submitted by her late husband Royce, who never returned from the Korean War—is discovered behind a radiator in Minneapolis eleven years later. Whisked away to New York City for the national finals at the luxurious Hotel Belmaine, Opal Dee finds herself navigating giant electric ranges, corporate advertising ploys, and a world on the brink of nuclear war. Along for the ride are Harlan Bisbee, a meticulous corporate "Recipe Integrity Officer" carrying his own wartime ghosts, and Sheriff Dub Hollis, who crossed nine hundred miles on a train that made him sick to track down a suspected "Communist". A tender, humorous, and deeply moving tale about grief, memory, and the extraordinary power of a simple pie to heal a frightened world. Read more
