My Favourite Cake

Directed by Maryam Moghaddam & Behtash Sanaeeha

70-year-old 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. 

But as Mahin opens herself up to new romance, what begins as an unexpected encounter quickly evolves into an unpredictable, unforgettable evening. 

“Heroine Mahin is fiercely determined to revitalise her mundane existence and taste a better life”
