My Favourite Cake (DIFF)

Mahin sleeps until late with her eye mask on, she likes pretty dresses with sheer underskirts, and gets teary-eyed watching soap operas. She could be a twenty-something influencer on TikTok, but she is a seventy-year-old Iranian woman whose husband died decades ago. She is becoming invisible, to her children who live abroad and to the world around her, until she follows a single, elderly taxi driver to the taxi stand and a beautiful friendship is born. They spend a night chatting, dancing, and drinking homemade wine, reconnecting with their youth which was spent in a country vastly different from the repressive Iran of today.
