Plot
One man views four decades of Spanish history from the window of a bakery in this romantic melodrama. After the death of his father, young Miguel found himself helping his mother, Isabel (Veronica Forque), run the family's bake shop, and as he grew to adulthood Miguel (Carlos Fuentes) discovered he had both a gift and a passion for making cakes. After the death of his mother, Miguel falls hopelessly in love with a beautiful neighborhood girl, Angela (Maria Adanez), and he tries to show his affection by baking her one of his specialties. While Angela is touched by the gesture, when she goes off to college she falls for a student radical, Carlos (Roberto Alvarez), and becomes a member of a left-wing activist group. While Miguel and Angela find themselves following different paths in life, he finds he can't forget her, and despite the passing of time and the miles that often separate them, Angela is never far from Miguel's thoughts. Tiempos de Azucar was the first feature film directed by noted screenwriter Juan Luis Iborra. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
