My Favourite Cake

Description

Mahin (70) lives by herself in Tehran. Except for sporadic dates with friends, life is actually quite dull. Mahin decides to take a different path: she wants to fall in love again! She sets up a not-so-spontaneous meeting with a man who just might become the love of her later life. Both heartwarming and heartbreaking, it is one of the first movies to show its female characters without head scarves within the home since the establishment of the hardline Islamic Regime in 1979.
