You are never too old to fall in love, although circumstances are not ideal for the Iranian lovebirds. As seventies with butterflies in their stomachs, they do not want to submit to their country's strict religious laws.

Apart from subtle criticism of the Iranian regime, My Favourite Cake is above all a beautiful love film full of small pleasures, wise reflections and a flare-up of lust for life. The film has not been praised by film journalists worldwide for nothing.
