EIFF: My Favourite Cake (Keyke Mahboobe Man)

FRI 16 AUG 18:00
A profoundly moving meditation on ageing, loneliness and love in unexpected places. An elderly Iranian widow encounters a lonely taxi driver in Tehran, where female oppression and strict social structures are subverted as a delicate kinship blooms against the odds. This is a gorgeously constructed two-hander that offers a reflection on societal repression of both men and women, and a powerful note of hope that cuts through deep pain. Cert: 12A.
