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.
Reviews: The Guardian “Mahin (Lily Farhadpour) is fiercely determined to revitalise her mundane existence and taste a better life.”
Rotten Tomatoes 100% “Mahin (70) 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.”
Tickets £6.50/£5.50 available from HEART reception and online
