The Last Tray
One baker, one tray, one night the bin stayed empty.
A one-minute film about a Muharraq baker, the tray he has left at closing time, and the three neighbours who take it home instead of the bin.
Read what happens in the film
An animated film with music and on-screen text. 4:30 in the morning in Muharraq: every morning, Yousef lights the oven, thirty-one years on the same street. All day every shelf of Yousef's Bakery is full, and the neighbourhood comes and goes. Most nights, one tray is left, and the part he hates most is the bin. Tonight he tries something new: he lists six surprise pastry bags on Bakala, to be collected by 10:30 pm. Across the island, three phones light up. Mariam has just finished a night shift, Ali has an exam tomorrow and no time to cook, and Ahmed has three hungry kids at home. All six bags are reserved. At 10:05 pm they come by one at a time, until nothing is left on the tray. For the first time in a long time, the bin stays empty. Bakala: rescue great food nearby. Launching soon in Bahrain.
