In the 1990s, while his country endures war and food shortages, Saddam Hussein requires every school to make a cake for his birthday. Nine year-old Lamia is chosen to bake for her school, and must gather ingredients or face the consequences. This rare feature from Iraq premiered in the Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes - where it won an Audience Award and the Camera d’Or - and was described by The Hollywood Reporter as “an exceptional debut…a tragicomic gem.
