The Perlmutar Story

A warm portrait of a family bakery, which has been run for 65 years out of the same tiny shop in the middle of an old-fashioned looking street market which still exists in Toronto, Canada. The mixture of Jewish, Italian, Chinese, Portuguese and Jamaican immigrants has preserved the old-world flavour of this unique part of a major Canadian metropolis. The film brings out the evidence of changing times, when the family can no longer continue in business because of increasing competition with more modern bakeries, and children who have chosen professions which their parents could only dream of.
