“One of the most impressive debuts at Cannes this year, THE PRESIDENT’S CAKE is a smart and stirring take on the coming of age genre that announces a bright future for Iraqi cinema. Lamia and her pet rooster are a pair of unforgettable scene partners that shouldn’t be missed!”
—Matthew Jackett, Programmer
