My favourite cake

A poignant bitter-sweet comedy about Mahin, a 70-year-old widow in Tehran, who decides to reclaim her life after decades of loneliness. She forms a connection with taxi driver Faramarz, which leads to a blossoming, albeit unconventional, romance. Exploring themes of love, loss, and the social constraints faced by women in Iran this wonderfully sweet and funny film will contribute to the debate about whether repressive regimes are the nursery of artistic greatness. It’s married directors were charged with making anti-government propaganda and banned from its premier in Berlin.
