My Favourite Cake

12 | Iran | 2024 | Persian, subtitled | 94 mins

Director: Maryam Moghaddam & Behtash Sanaeeha

Part of the Main Season

Book Here

A widowed woman defies social norms when she invites a charming stranger into her home for cake—and more. This warm Iranian film is a gentle yet subversive ode to companionship, joy, and the quiet rebellion of living fully, at any age.

A delightful and subversive late-life Iranian romance. - The Guardian
Quietly revolutionary film about 70-year-olds finding love again. - WritersMosaic (UK)
