My Favourite Cake

Trailer & Synopsis

Longing to experience romance again after becoming recently widowed, rebellious 70-year-old Mahin (Lily Farhadpour) shakes up her daily routine with the aim of meeting a man. Her efforts pay off when she crosses paths with cab driver Faramarz (Esmaeel Mehrabi), who like Mahin, has recently run afoul of oppressive Iranian authorities. Their chance encounter leads to an unforgettable evening when she offers to bake him her favourite cake.

Much like its protagonists, the two directors of My Favourite Cake have also been victims of their government: they were prevented from travelling to Berlin to attend their own premiere, and their film was confiscated when their production offices were raided. It’s a poignant juxtaposition to this charming, tender film about standing up for what you believe in, and rediscovering joy in a world that often tries to suppress it.
