About the movie My Favourite Cake
Mahin (70) has been living alone in Tehran since her husband passed away and her daughter left for Europe. After another afternoon of tea with her friends, she decides to break her lonely routine and breathe new life into her love life. In her search for a single man, she returns to places from her past and muses on the happy years she spent in freedom.
About the movie Ni Chaînes Ni Maîtres
In Ni chaînes ni maîtres we follow the enslaved Mati, who dreams of a free life, far away from the sugar cane plantation. According to tradition, there is a place somewhere on Île de France (present-day Mauritius) where former slaves live in freedom. Mati’s father Massamba does not believe this and thinks she should accept her fate. After all, that is the only chance of survival. When Mati escapes anyway, and the plantation owner hires the notorious slave hunter Madame de la Victoire to capture her, Massamba sees no other option than to throw off his chains and find his daughter, before it is too late. Ni chaînes ni maîtres is the first recent major French feature film to take a look at France’s slavery past. For the screenplay, director Simon Moutaïrou worked closely with historians to make the film as realistic as possible and thus contribute to awareness of France’s slavery past.
