My Favourite Cake
dir. Maryam Moghaddam, Behtash Sanaeeha · 2024
Finding connection and joy in life often requires stepping out of isolation and embracing new experiences.
An afternoon tea with friends becomes a catalyst for Mahin, a widow in Tehran, to confront her solitude and reignite her passion for life. Watching her navigate the complexities of friendship and romance is like savoring a rich, layered cake—each slice revealing new flavors of joy and sorrow.
Mahin lives 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.
