My favorite cake: Touch and Political, this exciting tale betrays their directors to betray their freedom

The exciting portrait of a woman, the glory of freedom …

Mahin (Lily Farhadpur), 70 years old, lives alone in Tehran. Because of all the prohibitions, he decides to wake up his love life and leads to a meeting with Faramarz (Esmaeel Mehrabi), a taxi driver. Their evening will be unforgettable.

Four years after the forgiveness, he noticed his political scale and presented it at the Berlin International Film Festival, directors of Maryam Moqadam and Behtash Sanaeeeha returned with their new feature film, my favorite cake.

A brilliant Lily Farhadpur actor, writer and journalist who is known in Iran, in favor of freedom, with her activism, especially women-artistic film, mainly for the development of sentimental life. The subject, which is even more taboo in Iran, where the laws of the Islamic Republic of Government prohibit two people out of marriage.

Pudding, but with touch, humor, tenderness and nostalgia, my favorite cake denotes constant love, love for human laws, in a poetic form that affects almost symbolism: between the characters of Mahin and the Faramars, everything is just a reasonable appearance, a delicacy and a loving smile … A sophisticated and delicate sign of their current relationship that will create, viewers Even among the younger, nostalgia for the love of the past and the terrible desire for love.

… Which led to the arrest of his two directors

Despite the sweetness of his words and the values ​​of universal appearance, my beloved cake has led to the wrath of the Islamic Republic of Iran: the “vulgar” and obscene, who blames the promotion of perverted libertinism, has long been grossly condemned by powers. Worst of all, its two directors, City Hall Mosadami and Behash Sanahia, were arrested in September 2023 when they were going to present their film in Europe, especially at the Berlin International Film Festival.

It was forbidden to implement their profession and leave the Iranian territory, Maryam Moqadam and Bhtash Sanaeeha wrote a long letter to express the situation and receive the support of many colleagues. “HaveToday, the film we dedicated to the three years of our livesThey wrote after his arrest. Like the parents who are forbidden to look at the newborn, we were prohibited from enjoying the pleasure of seeing you to see our movie with you . We are bored and tired, but we are not alone. This is the magic of cinema. Cinema ties us, unites us. This is a window that is open to the place where we meet. We are now forbidden to join us and see a film on the big screen that deals with love, life, and as well as freedom, the treasure in our country has disappeared.

We are proud to dedicate our film to the first and courageous women of our country who went to the front line of social changes, trying to throw the walls of outdated and sclerotic faith and sacrifice their lives to get freedom.»

The situation has remained unchanged

After a two -year interrogation, oppression and the ban on Iran, the condition of the City Hall remains unchanged. Worse, it may worsen on March 1, on the day of the first hearing before the Iranian court.
