“An exceptional screen debut, as perceptive as it is kinetic and, with one eye on the bombers overhead, brimming with life” – The Hollywood Reporter
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.
