ゴーストのおいしいレシピ The Bake Shop Ghost #7 (Koichi Saito)

 I chose a film from the U.S. called The Bake Shop Ghost (2009), directed by Lorette Bayle.
 This movie focuses on two lonely women. An old woman runs her bake shop in a small town. Her cakes are very delicious, but she is a cold person. One day, a girl visits this bake shop and purchases a small cake. The old woman accepts money from the girl at first, but she returns it with smile.
 Then the scene changes and we face a funeral of the old woman. After her death, some people tried to begin their businesses in her shop, but they were not allowed to make cakes there by a ghost of the old woman. After these troubles, a young woman comes there to start her kitchen. When the young woman arrange the shop, the ghost appears as usual. The ghost tries to stop her, but she doesn't change her mind. To stop the prevention from the ghost, the young women asked what she should do. Then Ghost answered she should bake delicious cakes. She makes a lot of cakes, but she isn't permitted to open her kitchen. One day, she happens to know the ghost's birthday. On her birthday, the young women offers her a birthday cake. The ghost looks surprised. During their meal, the young woman tell the ghost that she is a girl, who visited the old woman's bake shop. The girl bought a cake as her own birthday cake. Unfortunately, her parents had already died. At that time, they were both alone. After eating her birthday cake,  the ghost allow her to open her kitchen. When she opens, her bake shop, most people in the town are surprised, because they can enjoy the old woman's cake again.

 I was moved by this movie. I think even if you're lonely, you can support somebody, like the old woman. I'd like to be a man supporting someone without realizing.
