While people across 1990s Iraq struggle to survive the war and food shortages, Saddam Hussein requires each school in the country to prepare a cake to celebrate his birthday. Despite her efforts to avoid getting picked, 9-year-old Lamia is chosen among her classmates. The young girl must now use her wits and imagination to gather ingredients for the mandatory cake or face the consequences.
Winner of the Director's Fortnight and Camera d'Or awards in Cannes last year, the Iraki entry to the Oscars, shortlisted as an International entry, is a poignant portrayal of childhood under the Sadam Hussein regime in the 90's.
