MY FAVOURITE CAKE
Dir Maryam Moghadam, 
Behtash Sanaeeha | Iran, France, Sweden, 
Germany | 2024 | 97 mins | Rated 12A | Persian

Mahin lives alone in Tehran since her husband’s death and her daughter’s departure for Europe. Her hopes for new romance are hampered by a dodgy knee, a staid social routine and life under the gaze of the morality police. But one day an afternoon tea with friends results in her meeting Esmail, a lonely war veteran now working as a taxi driver, and what begins as an unexpected encounter quickly evolves into an unpredictable, unforgettable evening and a chance for both of them to live beyond the confines of their solitude.

Starring Lili Farhadpour, Esmaeel Mehrabi, Mohammad Heidari

Awards and Festivals
Berlin International Film Festival: Winner, Prize of the Ecumenical Jury & Fipresci Prize; Nominee, Best Film

Reviews
"... this wonderfully sweet and funny film will contribute to the debate about whether repressive regimes are the nursery of artistic greatness." ★★★★★ Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

"A delicious slice of life." Leslie Felperin, The Hollywood Reporter

"A warm, funny film about loneliness and repression..." Shubhra Gupta, The Indian Express

"In some ways the bubbly Mahid reminded me of the character Etero, the sexually freed woman in “Blackbird Blackbird Blackberry.... defying their oppressive surroundings before it’s too late." 
Robert Daniels, RogerEbert.com
