Seventy year old Mahin is a widow, and lives in solitude. But one day, she chooses to revive her love life and a chance encounter becomes an unforgettable evening. A charming portrayal of a 70-year-old Iranian’s appetite for romance. A lovely film. Rotten tomatoes review 100.

A beautifully delicate and nuanced concoction of a film, My Favourite Cake, co-written and directed by Iranian filmmakers Maryam Moghaddam and Behtash Sanaeeha, explores themes of love, regret and second chances with nuance and grace. It’s set against the backdrop of a country with strict rules and restrictions, especially when it comes to the rights and freedoms of women.
