Pumpkin Pie
Pumpkin Pie is a short dramedy with heart, in which bakery owner Margot finds her coveted solitude interrupted by a frantic customer, Adelaide, who refuses to be turned away on Thanksgiving morning. Through Adelaide’s increasingly desperate pleas for a holiday pie, the two women must face the feelings of inadequacy, sadness and regret that are often served up with the holiday meal.
