Synopsis

Antonio has his world turned upside down when he is suddenly dumped by his husband. Needing a place to stay, a fulfilling job and a new purpose in life, luck leads Antonio to larger-than-life flatmate Denis and a bakery owned by the sexy Luca.

It is through these new-found friendships and a previously dormant passion for pastry cuisine that Antonio realises how much of himself he sacrificed in his past relationship, and how much there is still to enjoy in life when circumstances set you free. MASCARPONE is a new romantic comedy that blends delicious food, high drama and cheeky humour in a way only the Italians know how.
