My Favourite Cake at The Darwin International Film Festival

My Favourite Cake

97 mins | Rated M (Mature themes)


My Favourite Cake tells the poignant story of Mahin, a 70-year-old widow residing in Tehran. After decades of loneliness, with her children living abroad, Mahin decides to embrace life anew. A spontaneous meeting with Faramarz, a kind-hearted taxi driver, blossoms into an evening filled with dancing, music, and companionship, challenging the restrictive norms imposed on women in Iranian society.

Directed by Maryam Moghaddam and Behtash Sanaeeha, this Iranian-French-Swedish-German co-production offers a heartwarming yet subversive narrative that delves into themes of love, freedom, and societal expectations. The film has been lauded for its delicate portrayal of late-life romance and its subtle critique of cultural repression.

My Favourite Cake premiered at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival, earning critical acclaim and sparking conversations about personal freedom and societal constraints.
