Waitress

Waitress Jenna Hunterson lives in an unhappy marriage with her controlling and abusive husband, Earl, in a small town in the American South. She works in Joe's Pie Diner, where her job includes creating inventive pies, and is slowly accumulating money to escape her marriage. Jenna's life changes after she meets her new obstetrician, Jim Pomatter, and she begins to keep a diary, ostensibly as letters to her unborn child, revealing her inner thoughts and plans. Jenna eventually wins a pie contest, and turns the diner into a new restaurant named "Lulu's Pies," where she finds a new sense of freedom and happiness with her newborn daughter, Lulu.
