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.
