My Favourite Cake

Iranian filmmaking duo Maryam Moghadam & Behtash Sanaeeha return with a sweet comedy-drama that was a dual award-winner at the 2024 Berlin International Film Festival.

Seventy-year-old Mahin has lived alone in Tehran since her husband’s death and her daughter’s departure for Europe, until an afternoon tea with friends leads her to break her solitary routine and revitalize her love life. But as Mahin opens herself up to new romance, what begins as an unexpected encounter quickly evolves into an unpredictable, unforgettable evening.
