8/8
When a mild-mannered reporter and his overzealous cameraman attempt to engineer a viral scandal, they target an elderly bakery owner in hopes of provoking a refusal. Their plan: request a series of increasingly offensive custom cakes and capture the moment she finally says no.
But as the requests escalate from tasteless to unthinkable, the baker remains calm, practical, and stubbornly un-outrageable… accepting every order with the same matter-of-fact professionalism.
In a world addicted to outrage, the two would-be journalists quickly discover they may have picked the one person who refuses to play along… and who might understand the game better than they do.
Two men. One woman. One set.
