Ein kleines Stück vom Kuchen
A heart-warming and humorous crowdpleaser that delighted audiences and press alike at the Berlinale.
70-year-old Mahin has been living alone in Tehran since the death of her husband and the departure of her daughter to Europe. A convivial afternoon tea with friends provides the impetus to leave her lonely and monotonous everyday life behind. Mahin harbours the desire to rekindle her love life. In her search for a new partner, she spontaneously opens her heart to Faramarz, a taxi driver of the same age. The chance encounter turns into a night that is as surprising as it is unforgettable.
EIN KLEINES STÜCK VOM KUCHEN is the third collaboration between the successful Iranian directing duo Maryam Moghaddam and Behtash Sanaeeha (BALLADE OF THE WHITE COW). The film, which celebrated its acclaimed world premiere in competition at this year's Berlinale 2024, tells a playful and emotional story of hope and love with gentle humour. The tragicomedy paints an authentic picture of everyday life for women in Iran and their opportunities for subtle emancipation from the patriarchal authorities. What begins as a romantic encounter between two lonely strangers develops into a touching ode to life, women and freedom.
