Synopsis
The story of a unique friendship that develops when a little girl and her dying mother retain the services of a talented cook — Henry Joseph Church. What begins as a six-month arrangement, instead spans fifteen years, and creates a family bond that lasts forever. Mr. Church is a heartwarming film that challenges the notions of family and unconditional love. Set in a time when social boundaries were far more rigid, Henry Joseph Church takes on the role of surrogate father to a young girl as she struggles through the loss of her only present parent. He willingly accepts the responsibility of being the sole bread winner, chef, and teacher of the arts, supporting Charlie and her terminally ill mother; all the while creating a genuine loving environment as a member of this unlikely family.
