Pie

I just watched this charming movie...called Sweet Land. It is about a woman that is mail order bride to a Norwegian man in Minnesota in 1920. Anyway when she arrives she doesn't have the right papers to get married and they find out she is German. It is after World War II so they are all a little paranoid of her being German. And so she is staying at friend's house until they can decide what to do. She speaks VERY little English. One day the friend's wife makes a pie and they are in the kitchen...just the two of them. The wife is basically trying to see how much experience she has had with men. The friend and his wife have 9 kids and are affectionate. The bride says she hasn't had any experience. And so the woman goes..."oh...well lets have pie." And they each take a fork and dive into this pie...they are enjoying the pie. But how it is filmed the expressions during the exchange and while eating the pie is just so sweet and fun...just lovely.

Mom if you read this I think you would like this movie...you should netflix it.

Reminder for myself: Soundtrack here.....very pretty.
