"CAKE" is a multilingual short film that follows the story of Zuzana and her friends as they come together for her birthday dinner. As the group, who speak a mix of Slovak, Polish, Italian, German, Spanish, and Greek, discusses religion, pedophilia in the church, and homosexuality, tensions rise and Zuzana, a devout catholic, finds herself offended by the conversation.
Just as things seem to be reaching a boiling point, Zuzana's brother Bartek announces that he is gay, causing a sudden shift in the atmosphere. Zuzana struggles to accept her brother's revelation and their relationship becomes strained.
As the party disbands, Zuzana is left alone to confront her feelings and beliefs.
"CAKE" is a thought-provoking exploration of faith, identity, and acceptance in a multilingual setting.

After 10 years of being together, Jane, a former aspiring actress turned successful real estate agent, and Andrew, a Polish writer with a one-hit script, finally get married. However, on their honeymoon, Jane reveals that she is in a relationship with another woman. When they return to their New York apartment, the situation escalates, leading to a bloody accident and a visit from Jane's family members.
