Mina's Apple Pie

A fundraising bake sale is announced at school and lonely, recluse Mina takes on the role as team leader. She honours her late mothers passion for baking, and slowly makes friends, finds love, and breaks out of the shell that has encompassed her since her mothers passing. What starts as bonding with others through their stomachs, soon leads her to reach their hearts, and gain a new outlook on life. She realizes she's not the only one that shares her dream, or that's lost a mother too soon.
