A Thousand and One Nights Movie: "the President's Cake"
Nine-year-old Lamia, who lives with her grandmother and her cockerel Hindi in the Mesopotamian Marshes, is chosen by her school to bake a cake to celebrate the Saddam Hussain's (the President of the title) birthday. Lamia and Bibi are poor, and commodities are expensive and scarce, but Lamia's teacher threatens her family with punishment if she does not bake the cake...
The President's Cake is not just a political satire; it's a moving portrait of humanity caught between obedience and survival. It reminds us that even in the darkest times, hope often rests in the hearts of the innocent.
After the movie we can have something to eat or drink
