In a corner of old Poland, near a great forest touched by magic, a baker receives a secret to help his ailing marriage. Enchantment comes but there is also a price to pay. In a marvel of plotting, a spiral of double-identity comedy, cakes, music and moral conundrums which require the invention of photography, a Count's soiree, a squad of Cossacks and a balloon ride to Rome to sort them out, The Baker's Alchemy brings charm and triumph again to the institution of marriage.
